The time has come for me to speak decidedly. The purpose of God in the establishment of our college has been plainly stated. There is an urgent demand for laborers in the gospel field. Young men who design to enter the ministry cannot spend a number of years in obtaining an education. Teachers should have been able to comprehend the situation and adapt their instruction to the wants of this class. Special advantages should have been given them for a brief yet comprehensive study of the branches most needed to fit them for their work. But I have been shown that this has not been accomplished. {5T 27.3}

Tiden er kommet for mig, hvor jeg skal tale bestemt. Guds formål med at oprette vort college er blevet klart anført. Der er et påtrængende behov for medarbejdere på evangeliemarken. Unge mænd som vil ind i prædikantgerningen, kan ikke bruge en masse år på at få uddannelse. Lærere burde kunne forstå situationen og tilpasse deres institution til denne klasses mangler. De burde have særligt nemt til at få et kort og dog vidtspændende studie i de grene der er mest brug for; - således kan de udrustes til deres arbejde. Men jeg er blevet vist at dette ikke er sket.
