If there is in the family one child who is unconscious of his sinful state, parents should not rest. Let the candle be lighted. Search the word of God, and by its light let everything in the home be diligently examined, to see why this child is lost. Let parents search their own hearts, examine their habits and practices. Children are the heritage of the Lord, and we are answerable to Him for our management of His property.

Hvis der er et barn i familien, der ikke er klar over sin syndige tilstand, burde forældrene ikke unde sig ro. Tænd lyset. Ransag Guds ord og lad alt i hjemmet blive nøje undersøgt i lyset deraf for at finde grunden til, at dette barn er tabt. Lad forældrene ransage deres hjerter og lægge mærke til deres vaner og skikke. Børn er en arv fra Gud, og vi er ansvarlige over for ham med hensyn til, hvordan vi passer på hans ejendom.
