Chapter 24—Dangers and Duties of Youth - Addressed to Two Young Men - Last December I was shown the dangers and temptations of youth. The two younger sons of Father O need to be converted. They need to die daily to self. Paul, the faithful apostle, had a fresh experience daily. He says: “I die daily.” This is exactly the experience that these young men need. They are in danger of overlooking present duty and of neglecting the education that is essential for practical life. They regard education in books as the all-important matter to be attended to in order to make life a success. {3T 221.2}

Skrevet til to unge mænd.
Sidste december fik jeg vist unges farer og fristelser. Fader O's to ældre sønner behøver at omvendes. De behøver at dø dagligt i selvet. Paulus, den trofaste apostel, havde dagligt en ny erfaring. Han siger »Jeg dør dagligt.« Dette er præcis den erfaring som disse to unge mænd behøver. De er i fare for at overse den nærværende opgave og forsømme den oplæring der er så væsentlig for deres praktiske liv. De betragter uddannelse i bøger som det helt betydningsfulde så der lægges mærke til dem og de kan få succes i livet.
