There is to be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation. Our work is to study to weed out of all our discourses everything that savors of retaliation and defiance and making a drive against churches and individuals, because this is not Christ’s way and method. {9T 244.2}

Der kommer en sådan trængselstid, som der aldrig har været, siden et folk blev til. Vi bør bestræbe os for at luge ud af vore bedrag og al hævnlyst og trods, alle angreb på kirkesamfund og individer; thi det er ikke Kristi fremgangsmåde.
