All our workers must have room to exercise their own judgment and discretion. God has given men talents which He means that they should use. He has given them minds and He means that they should become thinkers, and do their own thinking and planning rather than depend upon others to think and plan for them.—Letter 12, 1885, (October 28, 1885, To Brn. Butler and Haskell).
