You were to be a faithful physician of the souls as well as of the bodies of those under your charge. Had you fulfilled this trust, using aright the talents God gave you, you would not have worked alone. One who never makes a mistake was presiding. Only the Holy Spirit’s power can keep the spirit sweet and fragrant, soft and subdued, enabling the worker to speak the right words at the right time. {8T 181.1}

Du bør være en trofast læge for dine patienters sjæle, såvel som for deres legemer. Havde du fuldført dette betroede hverv, brugt de talenter Gud gav dig rigtigt, ville du ikke have arbejdet alene. Den som aldrig gør fejl tager ledelsen. Kun Helligåndens kraft kan holde ånden frisk og velduftende, blød og nedbøjet og forædle medarbejderen til at sige de rigtige ord på rette tid.
