The Lord calls upon His people to arouse and to show their faith by their works. In times past, when our numbers were few, when those who were able felt it their duty to take stock in our publishing house, their prayers and their alms, the fruit of persevering, self-denying effort, came before God as a sweet savor. Our brethren and sisters who have received the precious bread of life brought to them in our publications should be even more willing to give of their means to support the cause than were those who loved the truth in former years. {4T 592.3}

Herren kalder sit folk til at vækkes og vise deres tro i deres gerninger. Tidligere, da vi ikke var så mange, da dem som kunne anse det for deres pligt at købe aktier i vort forlag, kom deres bønner og deres almisser, frugten af udholdende og selvfornægtende anstrengelse frem for Gud som en liflig duft. Vore brødre og søstre som har fået det dyrebare (593) livets brød bragt frem for sig i vore udgivelser, burde være endnu mere villige til at give af deres midler og støtte sagen, end dem, som elskede sandheden i de første år.
