These interests should be broken up into many parts in order that the work may start in cities which it will be necessary to make centers of interest. Buildings should be erected and responsibilities centered in many localities that are now robbed of vital, spiritual interest in order to swell the overplus already in Battle Creek. The Lord is not glorified by this management on the part of those who are in responsible positions. “The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent.” Habakkuk 2:14; John 17:3. {8T 60.1}

(60) Disse interesser burde brydes op i mange dele, for at arbejdet kan begynde ude i byer. Byer, som det vil være nødvendigt at gøre til centre disse interesser. Bygninger bør oprejses og ansvar bør lægges ud i mange lokaliteter, som nu er frarøvet vitale, åndelige interesser, på grund af at overskuddet opsluges i Battle Creek. Herren er ikke forherliget ved den måde de ansvarlige medarbejdere leder tingene på. »Thi jorden skal fyldes af kundskab om Herrens herlighed, som vandene dækker havets bund.« »Og dette er det evige liv, at de kender dig, den eneste sande Gud og ham, som du har sendt, Jesus Kristus.« Hebr.2,14. Joh.17,3.
