I thank the Lord that He gave us the privilege of acting a part in the work from the beginning. But neither then nor since the work has grown to large proportions, during which time responsibilities have been widely distributed, has anyone heard me claiming the leadership of this people. {8T 237.3}

Jeg takker Herren for, at han gav os det privilegium at tage del i arbejdet i begyndelsen. Men hverken dengang eller nu, hvor arbejdet har fået så stort et omfang og ansvaret er blevet fordelt vidt omkring, har nogen hørt mig gøre krav på at være leder for dette folk.
