Those who are employed in our institutions have, in many respects, the best advantages for the formation of correct habits. None will be placed beyond the reach of temptation, for in every character there are weak points that are in danger when assailed. Those who profess the name of Christ should not, like the self-righteous Pharisee, find great pleasure in recounting their good deeds, but all should feel the necessity of keeping the moral nature braced by constant watchfulness. Like faithful sentinels they should guard the citadel of the soul, never feeling that they may relax their vigilance for a moment. In earnest prayer and living faith is their only safety. {4T 575.1}

Dem som arbejder på vore institutioner har, i mange henseender, de bedste fordele for at danne rigtige vaner. Ingen vil sættes uden for fristelsens rækkevidde, for enhver karakter er der svage punkter der er i fare, når der angribes. Dem som bekender Kristi navn bør ikke, ligesom de selvretfærdige farisæere, finde fornøjelse i at genoptælle deres gode gerninger, men alle bør føle nødvendigheden i at holde den moralske natur afbalanceret, ved stadig årvågenhed. Ligesom trofaste skildvagter bør de vogte sjælens kastel og ikke eneste øjeblik føle at de mangler årvågenhed. Alvorlig bøn og levende tro er deres eneste sikkerhed.
