Brethren, whatever business you engage in, whatever department of the work is allotted to you, carry your religion with you. God and heaven should not be left out of the experience and the lifework. The workers in this cause should guard against becoming one-sided men and letting only the worldly element in their characters appear. In the past there have been decided failures on the part of men connected with the office. They have not been spiritually minded; and their influence has not tended to lead toward the heavenly Canaan, but backward toward Egypt. {5T 411.1}

Brødre, uanset hvad I involverer jer i, uanset hvilken afdeling i værket I får tildelt, så tag jeres religion med jer. Gud og himlen bør ikke lades ud af erfaringen og livsarbejdet. Denne sags arbejdere bør vogte sig imod at blive ensidige mænd og kun lade det verdslige element i jeres karakter komme til syne. I fortiden er der blevet gjort absolutte fejltagelser fra menneskers side, i forbindelse med kontoret. De har ikke været åndeligsindede; og deres indflydelse har ikke gået mod det himmelske Kanaan, men tilbage mod Ægypten.
