August 20, 1903.At one time those in charge of our school at Avondale inquired of me, saying: “What shall we do? The officers of the law have been commissioned to arrest those working on Sunday.” I replied: “It will be very easy to avoid that difficulty. Give Sunday to the Lord as a day for doing missionary work. Take the students out to hold meetings in different places, and to do medical missionary work. They will find the people at home and will have a splendid opportunity to present the truth. This way of spending Sunday is always acceptable to the Lord.” {9T 238.1}

En gang spurgte dem på vor skole i Avondale mig og sagde: "Hvad skal vi gøre?" Lovens embedsmænd har befalet at arrestere dem som arbejder på søndagen." Jeg svarede: "Det vil være meget let at undgå denne vanskelighed. Giv søndagen til Herren som en dag til at udføre missionsarbejde. Tag de studerende med ud for at holde møder forskellige steder og for at gøre lægemissionsarbejde. De vil finde folk i hjemmene og vil have en glimrende anledning til at videregive sandheden. Denne måde at bruge søndagen på er altid Gud kærkommen.
