My dear brethren and sisters, I speak to you in words of love and tenderness. Arouse and consecrate yourselves unreservedly to the work of giving the light of truth for this time to those in darkness. Catch the spirit of the great Master Worker. Learn from the Friend of sinners how to minister to sin-sick souls. Remember that in the lives of His followers must be seen the same devotion, the same subjection to God’s work, of every social claim, every earthly affection, that was seen in His life. God’s claims must always be made paramount. Christ’s example is to inspire us to put forth unceasing effort for the good of others. {8T 47.1}

Min kære brødre og søstre, jeg taler til jer i kærlighed og ømhed. Vågn op og indvi jer selv uforbeholdent til at overbringe sandhedens lys i denne tid til dem i mørke. Grib den store Mesterarbejders iver. Lær af syndernes Ven hvordan syndsbefængte sjæle skal betjenes. Husk at der i hans efterfølgeres liv må ses den samme helligelse, den samme underkastelse for Guds arbejde, for enhver samfundsklasse, enhver jordisk hengivenhed, som kunne ses i hans liv. Guds forlangender må altid være det altoverskyggende. Kristi eksempel skal inspirere os til at lægge uophørlige anstrengelser frem, for andres skyld.
