While in Salem I formed the acquaintance of Brother and Sister Donaldson, who desired that their daughter should return to Battle Creek with us and attend the college. Her health was poor, and it was quite a struggle for them to part with her, their only daughter, but the spiritual advantages she would there receive induced them to make the sacrifice. And we are happy to here state that at the recent camp meeting in Battle Creek this dear child was buried with Christ in baptism. Here is another proof of the importance of Seventh-day Adventists’ sending their children to our school, where they can be brought directly under a saving influence. {4T 295.2}

Da jeg var i Salem kom jeg til at kende bror og søster Donaldson, som ønskede at deres datter skulle vende tilbage til Battle Creek sammen med os og gå på colleget. Hun havde et dårligt helbred og det var noget af en kamp for dem, at skilles fra hende, deres eneste datter, men de åndelige fortrin hun ville få der, fik dem til at ofre sig. Og vi er her glade for at sige at dette kære barn blev begravet med Kristus i dåbens vande, ved sidste lejrmøde. Her er et andet bevis på at det er vigtigt at syvende-dags Adventister sender deres børn til vor skole, hvor de kan bringes direkte under en frelsende indflydelse.
