He who devotes himself to arduous public labor in the cause of humanity often finds little time to devote to his own family and, in one sense, is left almost without a family and without fireside, social influences. It has been thus with Brother -----. His mind has been constantly taxed. He had little opportunity to win the affections of his children or to give them needed restraint and guidance. {5T 92.1}

(92) Han som helliger sig selv til det vanskelige samfundsarbejde for menneskehedens sag, finder ofte kun lidt tid til sin egen familie og, i en vis forstand, efterlades uden en familie og uden karminstedet, sociale påvirkning. Det er sket med bror ___. Hans sind er hele tiden blevet bebyrdet. Han har kun haft lidt anledning til at vinde sine børns hengivenhed eller give dem de nødvendige begrænsninger og vejledning.
