The Lord approved of the general course of Brother -----, as he was laying the foundation for the school which is now in operation. But the man has labored too hard, without a firm, blessed, strengthening home influence to lighten his burdens. Under the strain of overwork he has made some mistakes, not half so grievous, however, as those of persons who have cherished bitterness against him. In his connection with the youth he has had to meet that spirit of rebellion and defiance which the apostle declares to be one of the signs of the last days. {5T 91.1}

Herren anerkendte bror ___s handlemåde i almindelighed, da han lagde grunden for den skole, som er der nu. Men manden har arbejdet for hårdt, uden en fast, velsignet og styrkende påvirkning hjemmefra, til at lette hans byrder. Under overarbejdets belastning har han gjort nogle fejltagelser, dog ikke halvt så frygtelige, som de personer der udviste bitterhed imod ham. I sin omgang med de unge har han måtte møde denne oprørskhed og trods, som apostlene erklærer er et af tegnene på de sidste dage.
