Meeting Obdurate Hearts and Perverse Dispositions—Our Redeemer had a broad comprehensive humanity. His heart was ever touched with the known helplessness of the little child that is subject to rough usage, for He loved children. The feeblest cry of human suffering never reached His ear in vain. And everyone who assumes the responsibility of instructing the youth will meet obdurate hearts, perverse dispositions, and his work is to cooperate with God in restoring the moral image of God in every child. Jesus, precious Jesus—a whole fountain of love was in His soul.— Christian Education, 149 (1893). (Fundamentals of Christian Education, 265.) {1MCP 201.2}

Imødekomme forstokkede hjerter og forvansket natur. - Vor Forløser havde en bred omfattende menneskehed. Hans hjerte blev altid berørt af kendskabet til det lille hjælpeløse barn, som udsættes for en rå behandling, for han elskede børn. Menneskenes svageste råb har aldrig nået hans øre forgæves. Og enhver som påtager sig ansvar for at uddanne de unge vil møde forstokkede hjerte, forvansket natur, og hans arbejde er at samarbejde med Gud om at genoprette Guds moralbillede i ethvert barn. Jesus, dyrebare Jesus - en hel kilde af kærlighed var i hans sjæl. - CEd 149, 1893. (FE 265.)
