The youth in our day may be workers with Christ if they will; and in working, their faith will strengthen and their knowledge of the divine will will increase. Every true purpose and every act of right doing will be recorded in the book of life. I wish I could arouse the youth to see and feel the sinfulness of living for their own gratification and dwarfing their intellects to the cheap, vain things of this life. If they would elevate their thoughts and words above the frivolous attractions of this world and make it their aim to glorify God, His peace, which passeth all understanding, would be theirs. {3T 370.3}

Vor tids unge kan være Kristi arbejdere, hvis de vil og i arbejdet vil deres tro styrkes og deres kundskab om Guds vilje tiltage. Ethvert sandt forsæt og enhver rigtig handling vil blive nedskrevet i livets bog. Jeg ville ønske, at jeg kunne vække de unge til at indse og føle det (371) syndige i at tilfredsstille sig selv og forkrøble deres forstand med de værdiløse, forfængelige ting her i livet. Dersom de ville hæve deres tanker og ord op over det intetsigende og tiltrækkende her i verden og gøre det til deres mål at herliggøre Gud, ville hans fred, som overgår al forstand, tilfalde dem.
