The ministers of the popular churches will not allow the truth to be presented to the people from their pulpits. The enemy leads them to resist the truth with bitterness and malice. Falsehoods are manufactured. Christ’s experience with the Jewish rulers is repeated. Satan strives to eclipse every ray of light shining from God to His people. He works through the ministers as he worked through the priests and rulers in the days of Christ. Will those who know the truth join his party, to hinder, embarrass, and turn aside those who are trying to work in God’s appointed way to advance His work, to plant the standard of truth in the regions of darkness? {8T 197.1}

Lad enhver menigheds medlemmer anse det for deres særlige opgave at arbejde for deres naboer. Lad enhver som hævder at stå under Kristi banner føle at han er gået ind i et pagtsforhold med Gud, for at gøre Frelserens arbejde. Lad ikke dem, som påtager sig det arbejde, blive trætte i gode gerninger. [Når de genløste står for Gud, vil dyrebare sjæle reagere over for deres navne, som er der som følge af deres trofaste, udholdende anstrengelser for at vinde dem og deres indtrængende bønner og alvorlige henstillinger til dem om at fly til den faste borg. (197) De, som her har været Guds medarbejdere, vil således få deres løn. I Mesterens Tjeneste side 324]
