Neglect by the MinistryWhile I have been commissioned to point out the danger of swaying things too heavily in the medical missionary line to the neglect of other lines of service, this does not excuse those who have held themselves aloof from the medical missionary work. Those who have not been in sympathy with this work should now be very careful how they speak, for they are not intelligent on this subject. Whatever their position in the conference, they should be very guarded in giving utterance to sentiments that will help no one. The indifference and opposition that some have manifested in reference to this question makes it inconsistent that their words should have a large influence. They are not clear-sighted. {6T 298.1}

Forsømmelighed i embedet
Selvom jeg var blevet betroet til at udpege faren ved at influere tingene for meget i sundhedsarbejdet og forsømme de andre linjer, undskylder det ikke dem, som har holdt sig selv væk fra sundhedsarbejdet. Dem som ikke har vist forståelse for dette arbejde bør nu være meget forsigtige med hvad de siger, for de har ikke forstand på dette emne. Uanset deres embede i konferensen, bør de være meget påpasselige med at udtale sig om synspunkter, der ikke vil hjælpe nogen. Den ligegyldighed og modstand som nogen har udvist mod dette emne, vil gøre det ulogisk om deres ord (299) skulle have en stor indflydelse. De har ikke klarsyn.
