Young men who call themselves Sabbathkeepers attach “professor” to their names and abuse the community with that which they do not understand. Many thus pervert the light which God has seen fit to give them. They have not well-balanced minds. Elocution has become a byword. It has caught up men to engage in a work that they cannot do wisely, and spoiled them for doing a work which, had they been humbly and modestly seeking to accomplish it in the fear of God, they would have made a glorious success. These youth might have been fitting for usefulness in the missionary field as canvassers and colporteurs, or as licentiates proving themselves for ministerial labor, doing work for time and for eternity. But they have been crazed with the thought of becoming teachers of elocution, and Satan stands and laughs that he has caught them in the net which he has laid for them. {4T 605.3}

Unge mænd som kalder sig selv sabbatsholdere knytter benævnelsen "professor" til deres navn og misbruger samfundet med noget, de ikke forstår. Mange forvansker således det lys som Gud har fundet passende at give dem. De har ikke velafbalancerede sind. Talekunst er blevet et mundheld. Det (606) har fanget mennesker i et arbejde, som de ikke kan gøre godt og som har ødelagt dem til at gøre at arbejde, som de har været ydmyge og beskedne for at udføre i Gudsfrygt, de kunne have gjort en herlig succes. Disse unge kunne have været nyttige på missionsmarken som agitator og kolportør, eller som virksomhedsmedarbejdere bevise sig som gode til prædikantarbejde og arbejde for tiden og for evigheden. Men de er blevet skøre med tanken at blive talelærere og Satan står og ler over, at han har fanget dem i det net han har lagt ud for dem.
