Sanitarium, California,April 17, 1908God desires that the sale of Christ’s Object Lessons shall be recognized by all our people as His method of relieving our schools from debt. It is because this plan has been neglected that we now feel so keenly our lack of means for the advancing work. Had the schools availed themselves of the provision thus made for them, there would be more money in the school treasuries, and more money in the hands of God’s servants, with which to relieve the necessities of other needy departments of the cause; and, best of all, teachers and students would have received the very lessons that they needed to learn in the Master’s service. {9T 80.1}

Gud ønsker, at alle hans børn skal forstå, at det er hans plan, at vi ved salget af Kristi lignelser skal befri vore skoler for gæld. Det er fordi vi har forsømt at iværksætte denne plan, at der er så stor mangel på midler til fremme af evangeliets værk. Havde skolerne benyttet sig af det, der således var tilvejebragt for dem, ville der nu være flere penge i skolernes kasser og flere penge hos Guds tjenere, hvormed de kunne lette byrden for andre trængende afdelinger i Herrens sag; og fremfor alt ville såvel lærere som elever have tilegnet sig de lærdomme, som de burde indhente i Mesterens tjeneste.
