There is among many professing the truth a spirit of unrest. Some want to go to another county or state, buy large lands, and carry on an extensive business; others want to go into the city. Thus little churches are left in weakness and discouragement to die, when, had the ones who left them been content to work on a smaller scale, doing their little with fidelity, they might have made their families comfortable and been free to keep their own souls in the love of God. Many who move are disappointed. They lose what little property they had, lose health, and finally give up the truth. {5T 152.3}

Der er en uro blandt mange sandhedsbekendere. (153) Nogle ønsker at tage til et andet land eller stat, købe store jorder og gøre omfangsrige forretninger, andre ønsker at tage ind til byen. Således efterlades små menigheder svage og modløse til at dø hen, medens dem, som forlod dem, var tilfredse med at arbejde i mindre målestok og gjorde deres små ting godt, kunne gøre noget godt for deres familier, men ville fritages for at holde sig selv i Guds kærlighed. Mange som flytter bliver skuffede. De mister den smugle de havde, mister sundheden og til sidst opgiver sandheden.
