In adding building to building in Battle Creek, we are encouraging neglect of other fields. Superabundant advantages there mean destitution elsewhere. Other parts of the vineyard are robbed of the means they should have. Means should be invested elsewhere in winning souls to the truth and in providing houses of worship for them. {8T 146.3}

Når bygning til bygning lægges til i Battle Creek, fremmer vi forsømmelsen af andre marker. Fortrin i overflod der betyder armod andre steder. Andre steder i vingården frarøves de midler de burde haft. Midler burde investeres andre steder for at vinde sjæle til sandheden og give dem bedehuse.
