Our college at Battle Creek is a place where the younger members of the Lord’s family are to be trained according to God’s plan of growth and development. They should be impressed with the idea that they are created in the image of their Maker and that Christ is the pattern which they are to follow. Our brethren permit their minds to take too narrow and too low a range. They do not keep the divine plan ever in view, but are fixing their eyes upon worldly models. Look up, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God, and then labor that your pupils may be conformed to that perfect character. {5T 31.2}

Vort College i Battle Creek er et sted hvor de yngre medlemmer af Herrens familie skal oplæres efter Guds plan for vækst og udvikling. De bør indprentes med at de er skabt i deres Skabers billede og at Kristus er det mønster de skal følge. Vore brødre tillader sig at tænke i for snævre og lave baner. De ser ikke den guddommelige plan, men fikserer deres øjne på verdslige forbilleder. Se op, hvor Jesus sidder ved Guds højre hånd og arbejder da på at jeres elever kan tilpasses den fuldkomne karakter.
