Everywhere there is a work to be done for all classes of society. We are to come close to the poor and the depraved, those who have fallen through intemperance. And, at the same time, we are not to forget the higher classes—the lawyers, ministers, senators, and judges, many of whom are slaves to intemperate habits. We are to leave no effort untried to show them that their souls are worth saving, that eternal life is worth striving for. To those in high positions we are to present the total abstinence pledge, asking them to give the money they would otherwise spend for the harmful indulgences of liquor and tobacco to the establishment of institutions where children and youth may be prepared to fill positions of usefulness in the world. {7T 58.4}

Overalt er der et arbejde at udrette for alle samfundslag. Vi skal komme tæt på de fattige og fordærvede, dem som er faldet på grund af umådeholdenhed. Og, samtidig, skal vi ikke glemme de højere klasser - advokater, embedsmænd, senatorer og dommere mange af dem er slaver af umådeholdende vaner. Vi må ikke efterlade noget arbejde ugjort, men vise dem at deres sjæle er værd at frelse, at evigt liv er værd at stride for. For dem i høje stillinger skal vi give det totale afholdsløfte, bede dem om penge, de ellers kunne have brugt på skadelige laster som brændevin og tobak, men i stedet for give dem til at oprette institutioner hvor børn og unge kan forberedes til nyttige stillinger i verden.
