Faculties of Mind Not Half Used—It is important that we should have intermediate schools and academies.... From home and abroad are coming many urgent calls for workers. Young men and women, the middle-aged, and in fact all who are able to engage in the Master’s service, should be putting their minds to the stretch in an effort to prepare to meet these calls. From the light God has given me, I know that we do not use the faculties of the mind half as diligently as we should in an effort to fit ourselves for greater usefulness.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 209 (1903). {1MCP 193.1}

Sindets evner udnyttes ikke halvt så meget. - Det er vigtigt at vi har mellemskoler og akademier. . . . Fra hjemmene og udlandet kommer mange inderlige kald efter medarbejdere. Unge mænd og kvinder, midaldrende og faktisk alle som er i stand til at gå ind i Mesterens tjeneste, burde anstrenge deres tanker for at tage disse kald op. Ud fra det lys Gud har givet mig, ved jeg at vi ikke bruger sindets evner halvt så meget som vi burde, for at vi kan gøre os mere nyttige. - CT 209 (1903).
