Unity of the WorkThe Lord would have union among those who manage His work in different parts of the field. Those who manage His work on the Pacific Coast, and those who are engaged in His work on the east side of the Rocky Mountains, should be of the same mind and judgment,—one in heart, in plans, and in action. He would not have those at either office think it a virtue to differ with their brethren at the other publishing house. There should be a comparing of notes, an interchange of plans and ideas; and if any improvements are suggested in either office, let the managers consider the proposition, and adopt improved plans and methods. In both publishing houses there are very great improvements to be made, and the managers have much to learn. And the lesson which will bear its mark most decidedly and happily in the advancement of the work is to lean less to their own understanding, and to learn more of the meekness and lowliness of Christ. Let not those at either office be so egotistical, so unlike Christ, as to maintain their own plans for the gratification of having their own way, irrespective of consequences. {5T 417.1}

Arbejdets enhed
Herren vil have enighed blandt dem, som spreder hans værk på de forskellige dele af marken. Dem som leder hans arbejde på Stillehavskysten og som er involveret i hans arbejde på østsiden af Rocky Mountains, bør være af det samme sindelag og dømmekraft, - ét i hjerte, i planer og i handling. Han vil ikke have at dem på nogen af kontorerne tror det er en dyd at være anderledes fra deres brødre, på det andet forlag. Der burde være et sammenfald af optegnelser, en udveksling af planer og idéer; og hvis der antydes til forbedringer på et af kontorerne, så lad lederne se på den plan og afprøve de gjorte planer og metoder. I begge forlag er der meget store forbedringer at gøre og lederne har meget at lære. Og den lektie som vil bære sit aftryk, tydeligst og bedst for værkets fremme, er at lære mindre om deres egen forstand og mere om Kristi ydmyghed og beskedenhed. Lad ikke nogen på nogle af kontorerne være så egoistiske, så ulig Kristus, at de fastholder deres egne planer, for at få deres egen vej, uanset følgerne.
