Because books were being sold at low prices, some being especially reduced for the occasion, many were purchased, and some by persons not of our faith. They said: “It must be that these books contain a message for us. These people are willing to make sacrifices in order that we may have them, and we will secure them for ourselves and our friends.” {9T 72.1}

Da bøgerne blev solgt billigt (Prisen på en del var nemlig nedsat for anledningen), blev mange solgt også en del til udenforstående. De sagde: "Disse bøger indeholder måske et budskab til os. Folk her er villige til at opofre noget, for at vi kan skaffe os dem og vi kan købe dem til os selv og vore venner.”
