I have given the leading men in the General Conference and the Mission Board the light given me by God: that you and they should counsel together; that, instead of holding themselves aloof, they should be your fellow helpers; that you had been ordained by God to stand in a position of trust, and you needed help instead of censure. {8T 175.3}

Jeg har givet de ledende mænd i generalkonferensen og missionsbestyrelsen det lys, jeg har fået af Gud: at du og de bør rådføre sig med hinanden; så de, i stedet for at holde sig selv langt borte, er dine medhjælpere; da du af Gud er forhindret i at have en tillidsfuld stilling og du behøver hjælp i stedet for kritik.
