Brethren who could work together in harmony if they would learn of Christ, forgetting that they are Americans or Europeans, Germans or Frenchmen, Swedes, Danes, or Norwegians, seem to feel that if they should blend with those of other nationalities, something of that which is peculiar to their own country and nation would be lost and something else would take its place. {9T 187.3}

Brødre, der kunne arbejde harmonisk sammen, hvis de ville lære af Kristus at glemme, at de er amerikanere eller europæere, tyskere eller franskmænd, svenskere, danskere eller nordmænd, synes at mene, at hvis de skulle blande sig med andre nationaliteter, ville noget af det, der er særegent for deres eget land og nation, gå tabt og noget andet indtage dets plads.
