What Might Have BeenSt. Helena, California,January 5, 1903.To the Battle Creek ChurchOne day at noon I was writing of the work that might have been done at the last General Conference if the men in positions of trust had followed the will and way of God. Those who have had great light have not walked in the light. The meeting was closed, and the break was not made. Men did not humble themselves before the Lord as they should have done, and the Holy Spirit was not imparted. {8T 104.1}

(104) St. Helena, Californien, den 5.Januar, 1903.
Til Battle Creek menigheden --
[En middag sad jeg og skrev om, hvilket værk der ville være blevet udført ved sidste generalkonference, hvis de ledende brødre havde fulgt Guds vilje. De, som har fået meget lys, har ikke vandret i lyset. Mødet blev holdt, uden at bruddet skete. Ingen ydmygede sig for Gud som de burde have gjort og modtog derfor ikke Helligånden.
