My brethren and sisters, do we take into consideration the needs of the large cities of the East? Do we not know that they must be warned of Christ’s near approach? The work we have to do is a wonderfully great work. There is a world to be saved; there are souls to be labored for in the cities of the East, in the states where the message of the coming of our Lord was first preached. Who will give themselves to do this line of missionary work? There are hundreds of our people who ought to be out in the field who are doing little or nothing for the advancement of the message. Those who have had every advantage of knowing the truth, who have received instruction line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, have a great responsibility resting upon them in these souls who have never heard the last gospel message. {9T 134.2}

Mine brødre og søstre, tager vi hensyn til de store behov der er i de store byer i øststaterne? Er vi ikke klar over at de må advares om Kristi snarlige komme? Det arbejde vi skal gøre er et vidunderligt stort arbejde. Der er en verden der skal frelses; der er sjæle der skal arbejdes for i øststaternes byer, i de stater hvor budskabet om vor Herres komme først blev forkyndt. Hvem vil give sig selv til denne slags missionsarbejde? [Hundreder i vort folk, der burde være ude på arbejdsmarken, gør lidt eller intet for at fremme budskabet. De der, har haft alle fordele ved at kende sandheden og som har modtaget undervisning linje på linje, bud på bud, lidt her og lidt her, har et stort ansvar overfor de sjæle, der aldrig har hørt evangeliets sidste budskab.
