I saw that Satan, through his temptations, is instituting ever-changing fashions and attractive parties and amusements, that mothers may be led to devote their God-given probationary time to frivolous matters so that they can have but little opportunity to educate and properly train their children. Our youth want mothers who will teach them from their very cradles to control passion, to deny appetite, and to overcome selfishness. They need line upon line and precept upon precept, here a little and there a little. {3T 564.3}

Jeg så at Satan, gennem sine fristelser, indfører, altid-foranderlige moder og tiltrækkende fester og fornøjelser, så mødre kan forledes at hengive deres Gudsgivne prøvetid til tåbelige ting så de kun har en lille anledning til at opdrage og oplære deres børn rigtigt. Vore (565) unge mangler mødre som vil lære dem helt fra deres vugge at styre lidenskaber, at fornægte appetitten og overvinde selviskhed. De behøver det linje for linje og forskrift for forskrift, lidt her og lidt der.
