If morality and religion are to live in a school, it must be through a knowledge of God’s word. Some may urge that if religious teaching is to be made prominent our school will become unpopular; that those who are not of our faith will not patronize the college. Very well, then, let them go to other colleges, where they will find a system of education that suits their taste. Our school was established, not merely to teach the sciences, but for the purpose of giving instruction in the great principles of God’s word and in the practical duties of everyday life. {5T 25.3}

Hvis moralen og religionen skal kunne leve i en skole, må det være ved kundskab til Guds ord. Nogle kan hævde at hvis religiøs oplæring gøres fremtrædende på vor skole, vil den blive upopulær; så at dem som ikke er af vor tro ikke vil støtte colleget. Nuvel, lad dem tage til andre colleger, hvor de vil finde et uddannelsessystem der passer deres smag. Vor skole blev stiftet, ikke kun for at lære videnskab, men med det formål at undervise i Guds ords store principper og i hverdagslivets praktiske pligter.
