There is a great work to be done in our college, a work which demands the co-operation of every teacher; and it is displeasing to God for one to discourage another. But nearly all seem to forget that Satan is an accuser of the brethren, and they unite with the enemy in his work. While professed Christians are contending, Satan is laying his snares for the inexperienced feet of children and youth. Those who have had a religious experience should seek to shield the young from his devices. They should never forget that they themselves were once enchanted with the pleasures of sin. We need the mercy and forbearance of God every hour, and how unbecoming for us to be impatient with the errors of the inexperienced youth. So long as God bears with them, dare we, fellow sinners, cast them off? {5T 34.2}

Der er et stort arbejde, der skal gøres på vort college, et arbejde som kræver enhver lærers samarbejde; og det mishager Gud at den ene gør den anden modløs. Men næsten alle synes at glemme, at Satan er brødrenes anklager og de forener sig med fjenden i hans arbejde. Medens bekendende kristne strides, lægger Satan sine snarer ud for børn og unges uerfarne fødder. De må aldrig glemme at de selv tidligere blev fortryllet af syndens fornøjelser. Vi behøver Guds barmhjertighed og overbærenhed hver time og hvor upassende er det så ikke for os at være utålmodige med uerfarende unges fejl. Så længe Gud bærer over med dem, tør vi, medsyndere, kaste dem bort?
