Call Latent Powers to Action—In the common walks of life there is many a toiler patiently treading the round of his daily tasks, unconscious of latent powers that, roused to action, would place him among the world’s great leaders. The touch of a skillful hand is needed to arouse and develop those dormant faculties. It was such men whom Jesus connected with Himself, and He gave them the advantages of three years’ training under His own care. No course of study in the schools of the rabbis or the halls of philosophy could have equaled this in value.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 511 (1913). {1MCP 101.2}

Genkalder skjulte kræfter. - I hverdagslivet er der mange der slider tålmodig med sine daglige opgaver, ubevidst om de skjulte kræfter som, hvis de blev vækket til aktion, ville sætte ham blandt verdens store ledere. Der er brug for en dygtig hånd til vække og udvikle disse slumrende kræfter. Det var sådanne mennesker som Jesus knyttede til Sig, og han gav dem fortrin i tre års oplæring under Hans egen varetægt. Intet studieseminar i rabbinernes skoler eller i filosofiske anstalter kunne sætte sig lige med dette. - CT 511 (1913).
