Our Aged Pioneer WorkersTo the aged pioneer laborers who have been connected with the work of the third angel’s message almost from its beginning, whose experiences in it dates nearly from the passing of the time in 1844, the Lord says: “Your help is needed. Do not take upon yourselves loads that others who are younger can carry. It is your duty to be careful in your habits of life. You are to be wise in the use of your physical, mental, and spiritual strength. You who have passed through so many and such varied experiences are to do all that it is possible for you to do to preserve your powers, that you may labor for the Lord as long as He permits you to stand in your lot and place to help to advance His work.” {7T 286.1}

(286) Til de ældre pionerarbejdere, som næsten lige fra begyndelsen, har været knyttet til den tredje engels budskabs arbejde, hvis erfaringer med det daterer sig fra tidsperioden i 1844, siger Herren: "Der er brug for jeres hjælp. Påtag jer ikke byrder, som yngre kan bære. Det er jeres pligt at passe på jeres livsvaner. I skal være forstandige med brugen af jeres fysiske, mentale og åndelige styrke. I har gennemgået så mange og så forskellige erfaringer at I skal gøre alt muligt for at bevare jeres kræfter, at I kan arbejde for Herren så længe som han lader jer stå ved jeres lod og sted for at fremhjælpe hans værk."
