Both the members of the church and the employees in the publishing house should feel that as workers together with God they have a part to act in guarding His institution. They should be faithful guardians of its interests in every line, seeking to shield it, not only from loss and disaster, but from all that could profane or contaminate. Never through act of theirs should its fair fame be tarnished, even by the breath of careless criticism or censure. God’s institutions should be regarded by them as a holy trust, to be guarded as jealously as the ark was guarded by ancient Israel. {7T 192.3}

Både menighedens medlemmer og forlagshusets funktionærere bør føle at de som medarbejdere (193) sammen med Gud har en rolle at spille i hans institutions ledelse. De bør være trofaste vogtere over dens interesser på alle linjer, de må forsøge at beskytte det, ikke blot fra tab og katastrofer, men fra alt hvad der kunne vanhellige eller besmitte. Institutionernes ry skal aldrig tilsmudses på grund af dem, heller ikke ved letsindig kritik eller dadel. De må betragte Guds institutioner som en hellig betroelse, der skal bevogtes ligeså nidkært som arken i det gamle Israel.
