“My brother, you have not taken a course to encourage men to give themselves to the ministry. Instead of bringing the expense of the work down to a low figure, it is your duty to bring the minds of the people to understand that ‘the laborer is worthy of his hire.’” “The churches need to be impressed with the fact that it is their duty to deal honestly with the cause of God, not allowing the guilt of the worst kind of robbery to rest upon them, that of robbing God in tithes and offerings. When settlements are made with the laborers in His cause, they should not be forced to accept small remuneration because there is a lack of money in the treasury. Many have been defrauded of their just dues in this way, and it is just as criminal in the sight of God as for one to keep back the wages of those who are employed in any other regular business. {5T 374.1}

"Min bror, du er ikke gået efter at opmuntre mænd og give dem selv til tjenesten. I stedet for at nedbringe arbejdets omkostninger til et lavere tal, er deres jeres pligt at få folk til at forstå at »arbejderen er sin løn værd.«" "Menighederne må indprentes med det faktum, at de skal behandle Guds sager ærligt og redeligt, ikke lade skyld fra det værste røveri hvile på dem: at frarøve Gud i tiende og gaver. Når der afregnes med medarbejderne i hans sag, skal de ikke tvinges til at acceptere en lille løn, fordi der er mangel på penge i skatkammeret. Mange er blevet bedraget for deres ret i dette og det er ligeså kriminelt i Guds øjne, som en der tilbageholder deres løn, som arbejder i en hvilken som helst anden almindelig forretning.
