Broad Principles of Bible to Control Concepts [See Chapter 11, “Bible Study and the Mind.”]—Upon the mind of every student should be impressed the thought that education is a failure unless the understanding has learned to grasp the truths of divine revelation and unless the heart accepts the teachings of the gospel of Christ. The student who, in the place of the broad principles of the Word of God, will accept common ideas and will allow the time and attention to be absorbed in commonplace, trivial matters will find his mind will become dwarfed and enfeebled; he will lose the power of growth. The mind must be trained to comprehend the important truths that concern eternal life.— Letter 64, 1909. {1MCP 196.1}

Brede bibelprincipper til at kontrollere begreber med. [Se kapitel 11, "Bibelstudium og sindet."] - Enhver studerende bør have indprentet i sit sind at uddannelse er en fiasko, medmindre forstanden har lært at gribe sandheder af guddommelig åbenbaring, og medmindre hjertet ikke accepterer læren i Kristi evangelium. Den studerende som, i stedet for Guds ords brede principper, vil acceptere almindelige idéer og vil bruge tid og opmærksomhed på almindelige, trivielle ting, vil finde ud af at sindet bliver formindsket og svækket; han vil miste vækstens kraft. Sindet må oplæres til at fatte de vigtige sandheder som angår det evige liv. - Brev 64, 1909.
