I am being aroused anew on this subject. We have a work to do along this line besides that of speaking in public. We must present our principles in pamphlets and in our papers. We must use every possible means of arousing our people to their duty to get into connection with those who know not the truth. The success we have had in missionary work has been fully proportionate to the self-denying, self-sacrificing efforts we have made. The Lord alone knows how much we might have accomplished if as a people we had humbled ourselves before him and proclaimed the temperance truth in clear, straight lines.

Denne sag trænger sig på ny ind på mig. Vi bør gøre mere end at tale offentligt. Vi må fremsætte vore principper i pjecer og i vore blade. Vi må bruge alle mulige midler for at få vort folk til at forstå, at det er deres pligt at sætte sig i forbindelse med dem, som ikke kender sandheden. Det hel,vi har haft i missionsarbejdet, har fuldt ud stået i forhold til de selvopofrende, selvforsagende anstrengelser, vi har gjort. Herren alene ved, hvor meget vi kunne have udført, hvis vi som et folk havde ydmyget os for ham og fremsat sandheden om afholdenhed klart og tydeligt.
