Elder A. G. Daniells,Takoma Park Station,Washington, D. C.:
§5
亲爱的弟兄：Dear Brother,
§6
今天我心里一直背负着沉重的负担。昨晚有一些特别重要的事情展现在我面前。我似乎正在经历一场严重的冲突。我是在对一群男人和女人讲话，向他们介绍我们的人所处的危险。我说到我们非常需要在祷告中与上帝同在。我有鼓励的话要给不同的人。{SpM 395.2}
§7
Today I have been carrying a heavy burden on my heart. Last night some matters of special importance were opened up before me. I seemed to be passing through a severe conflict. I was addressing a company of men and women and presenting to them the dangers of our people. I spoke of our great need of being much with God in prayer. I had words of encouragement to give to different ones.?{SpM 395.2}
§8
主给了我指示的话，要讲给你和埃文斯长老和沃什伯恩长老。我说过，你们有一项工作要做，要鼓励在田纳西州麦迪逊的学校工作。我们当中只有很少的教师有在艰苦的地方进行这项工作的经验。那些一直努力在麦迪逊实现上帝的心意和旨意的工人们并没有得到应有的鼓励。萨瑟兰弟兄若不减轻他身上的一些压力，就会倒在重担之下。{SpM 395.3}
§9
Words of instruction were given to me to speak to you and Elder Evans, and Elder Washburn. I said, You have a work to do to encourage the school work in Madison, Tenn. There are but few teachers among us who have had experience in carrying forward the work in hard places. The workers who have been striving to carry out the mind and will of God in Madison have not received the encouragement they should have had. Unless Brother Sutherland is relieved of some of the pressure that is upon him he will fall under the burden.?{SpM 395.3}
§10
你可能会问需要什么？我的回答是鼓励。萨瑟兰弟兄和马根弟兄过去都受过严厉的教训。主给过他们纠正和指示，他们就接受了来自主的信息并且认了罪。计划将如此多的利益集中在巴特尔克里克，乃是一个严重的错误。难道我们要被那些说犯了错误的人是不可信任的人的影响吗？{SpM 395.4}
§11
You may ask what is needed? I answer it is encouragement. Brethren Sutherland and Magan have had a severe lesson in the past. The Lord sent them correction and instruction, and they received the message from the Lord and made confession. It was a grievous mistake to plan to center so many interests in Battle Creek. Shall we be influenced by those who say that the men who made that mistake can not be trusted??{SpM 395.4}
§12
当我在华盛顿的时候，我恳求萨瑟兰弟兄和马根弟兄相信上帝已经原谅了他们的错误，从那时起，我用我的帮助和鼓励，使他们认识到，主已经将他们安置在有利的地位。{SpM 395.5}
§13
When I was in Washington I entreated Brethren Sutherland and Magan to believe that God had forgiven their mistakes, and I since tried by my help and encouragement to have them realize that the Lord had placed them on vantage ground.?{SpM 395.5}
§14
丹尼尔斯弟兄：你和那些对工作有广泛影响的人有特权让这些弟兄们明白，他们在勇敢从事的工作中有你们的信任和鼓励。萨瑟兰弟兄的健康状况岌岌可危。 我们不能失去他。我们需要他在学校工作的经验。有影响力的弟兄们应该尽他们的力量，通过鼓励和支持麦迪逊学校的工作来扶持这些工人的手。应该分拨资金以满足麦迪逊工作的需要，——使老师们的工作将来不至于那么辛苦。{SpM 395.6}
§15
It is your privilege, Brother Daniells, and the privilege of those who have wide influence in the work, to let these brethren understand that they have your confidence and encouragement in the work they are bravely doing. Brother Sutherland is in a precarious state of health. We can not afford to lose?him. We need his experience in the school work. The brethren who have influence should do all in their power to hold up the hands of these workers by encouraging and supporting the work of the Madison school. Means should be appropriated to the needs of the work in Madison,---That the labor of the teachers may not be so hard in the future.?{SpM 395.6}
§16
我们个人的责任
§17
Our Individual Responsibility
§18
我们的各教会确实需要指导教师。“但要尊万军之耶和华为圣，以祂为你们所当怕的，所当畏惧的”（赛8:13）。{SpM 396.1}
§19
Our churches are certainly in need of instructors. “Sanctify the Lord God of Hosts and let him be your fear and let him be your dread.”?{SpM 396.1}
§20
给每一个人都分派了工作。在比喻中，家主“按着各人的才干”（太25:15）将银子给了他的仆人。并非所有的人都拥有相同的能力。各人都有一项特殊的工作要做，免得基督的身子分门别类。各人都应占据自己特别的位置，存心忍耐，奔那摆在他前头的路程。{SpM 396.2}
§21
To every man is given his work. In the representation of the parable, the householder gave the talents to his servants “according to their several ability.” All are not in possession of the same capabilities. Each has a special work to do, that there may be no schism in the body of Christ. Each is to take up his special place and turn with patience the race that is set before him.?{SpM 396.2}
§22
我们有道德和社会义务要履行。人人都有大量的工作要做。许多人在黑暗中摸索，走着自私满足之路，同时却自称信奉基督之名。他们并没有觉得自己有责任在基督耶稣里长大到成年男女的身量。这样的人需要一颗善良的心、一只乐于助人的手的帮助，带领他们回到正义的道路上。作为基督徒，我们面前有一项特别工作，我们若是以谦卑的心做这项工作，上帝就会用祂的福气来荣耀我们。{SpM 396.3}
§23
We have moral and social obligations to meet. There is an abundance of work for all to do. Many are groping in darkness and following the paths of selfish gratification, while professing the name of Christ. They have not felt the responsibility developing upon them to grow up to the full stature of men and women in Christ Jesus. Such ones need the help of a kind heart, a helpful hand, to lead them back into the paths of righteousness. As Christians we have a special work before us which if we will do in humility of mind, God will honor with his blessing.?{SpM 396.3}
