And our camp meetings have another object, preparatory to this. They are to promote spiritual life among our own people. The world in its wisdom knows not God. The world cannot see the beauty, the loveliness, the goodness, the holiness of divine truth. And in order that men may understand this, there must be a channel through which it shall come to the world. The church has been constituted that channel. Christ reveals Himself to us that we may reveal Him to others. Through His people are to be manifested the riches and glory of His unspeakable gift. {6T 32.2}

Og vore lejrmøder har et andet formål, som forbereder dette. De skal fremme åndeligt liv blandt vore egne folk. I sin visdom kender verden ikke Gud. Verden kan ikke se den guddommelige sandheds skønhed, ynde, godhed og hellighed. Og for at mennesker skal kunne forstå dette, må der være en kanal, hvor igennem det kommer til verden. Menigheden har udgjort den kanal. Kristus åbenbarer sig selv for os, så vi kan åbenbare ham til andre. Hans uudsigelige gavers rigdomme og herlighed skal vises ved hans folk.
