The institutions that have been established by our people to care for orphans and the infirm and aged among us, should be sustained. Let not these be left to languish and bring a reproach upon the cause of God. To aid in the support of these institutions should be looked upon not merely as a duty, but as a precious privilege. Instead of making needless gifts to one another, let us bestow our gifts upon the poor and helpless. When the Lord sees that we are doing our best for the relief of these needy ones, He will move upon others to aid in this good work. {6T 286.4}

De institutioner, vort folk har oprettet til (287) hjælp for de forældreløse, de svage og gamle iblandt os, bør understøttes. Lad ikke disse blive forsømt og bringe skam over Guds sag. At hjælpe til med at underholde disse institutioner bør ikke betragtes blot som en pligt, men som en dyrebar forret. Lad os skænke vore gaver til hinanden. Når Gud ser, at vi gør vort bedste for at hjælpe disse trængende, vil han påvirke andre til at bistå i dette gode arbejde.
