“The kingly power formerly revealed in the General Conference at Battle Creek is not to be perpetuated. The publishing institution is not to be a kingdom of itself. It is essential that the principles that govern in General Conference affairs should be maintained in the management of the publishing work and the sanitarium work.

”Den kongeagtige magt der tidligere har vist sig i generalkonferensen i Battle Creek skal ikke foreviges. Forlagsinstitutionen skal ikke være et kongerige i sig selv. Det er absolut nødvendigt at hovedtrækkene, der hersker i generalkonferenseanliggende fastholdes i ledelsen af forlagsarbejdet og sanatoriearbejdet. Man skal ikke tro at den gren man selv arbejder i er af langt større betydning end andre grene.
