In attending school you are exposed to a variety of temptations to which you would not be exposed at home in your father’s house, under the watchcare of God-fearing parents. If while at home you prayed by yourselves twice or three times a day for grace to escape the corruptions that are in the world through lust, you need to pray as much more earnestly and constantly when at school, exposed to temptations and the contaminating influences which prevail in schools in this degenerate age, as your surroundings are more unfavorable to the formation of Christian character. {3T 224.2}

Når I går i skole udsættes i for en forskellighed af fristelser som I ikke vil udsættes for hjemme i jeres faders hjem, under gudfrygtige forældres varetægt. Hvis I, der hjemme, bad for jer selv to eller tre gange om (225) dagen om nåde til at undvige det fordærv som er i verdens lyster, behøver I at bede meget mere alvorligere og oftere i skolen, hvor I er udsat for fristelser og besmittende indflydelser som hersker i denne fordærvede tids skoler, idet jeres omgivelser er ugunstige for den kristne karakters dannelse.
