There is a great work to be done in the day of God’s preparation in devising and executing plans for the advancement of His cause. Our publications should have a wide circulation, for they are doing a great work. There is much missionary work to be done. But I have been shown that there is danger of having this work too mechanical, so intricate and complicated that less will be accomplished than if it were more simple, direct, plain, and decided. We have neither time nor means to keep all parts of this machinery in harmonious action. {4T 600.3}

Der er et stort arbejde der skal gøre på Guds beredelsesdag med at udtænke og udføre planer for hans sags fremme. Vore udgivelser bør have en vidtstrakt udbredelse, for de gør et stort arbejde. Der er meget missionsarbejde at gøre. Men jeg er blevet vist at der er fare for at arbejdet gøres for mekanisk, så indviklet og kompliceret (601) at mindre vil blive udrettet, end hvis det var mere enkelt, direkte, tydeligt og bestemt. Vi har hverken tid eller midler til at holde sammen på alle dele i dette maskineri.
