In place of complaining of the officers of the General Conference because they cannot respond to the multiplied calls for men and means, let our church members bear a living testimony to the power of the truth by denying self and giving liberally for the advancement of the work. Let our sisters save by refusing to put expensive trimmings on their garments. Let every unnecessary expense be cut down. Let every family bring their tithes and offerings to the Lord. {9T 53.1} | |

(53) I stedet for at dadle generalkonferensens embedsmænd, fordi de ikke kan efterkomme de øgede opråb på mænd og midler, burde vore menighedsmedlemmer ved sit selvfornægtende liv og sine liberale gaver til Guds sags fremme vise, hvilken kraft Herrens sandhed besidder. lad vore søstre spare ved at afholde sig fra at udstyre sine klæder med kostbar pynt. Enhver unødig udgift bør standses. Lad enhver familie føre tienden og gaverne til Herren. |
