Some were greatly troubled because I did not make the dress a test question, and still others because I advised those who had unbelieving husbands or children not to adopt the reform dress, as it might lead to unhappiness that would counteract all the good to be derived from its use. For years I carried the burden of this work and labor to establish uniformity of dress among our sisters. {4T 637.1}

Nogle fik mange problemer, fordi jeg ikke gjorde klædespørgsmålet til en diskussionssag og endnu andre, fordi jeg rådede dem, som havde ikke-troende mænd eller børn, til at ikke antage reformen, da det kunne føre til ulykke og hindre det gode ved deres brug. I årevis har jeg båret denne byrde og arbejdet for at skabe ensartethed i klæderne blandt vore søstre.
