The youth exposed to their influence are never safe unless those under whose care they are placed exercise the greatest vigilance and they themselves have right principles firmly established. But it is a sad fact that in this age many of the young yield readily to the influence of Satan, but resist the Spirit of God; and in many cases wrong habits have become so firmly fixed that the greatest effort on the part of the managers would not result in molding their characters in the right direction. {5T 408.1}

De unge der kommer under deres indflydelse er aldrig sikre, undtagen dem, under hvis varetægt de er sat under, udøver den største vagtsomhed og de selv har de rigtige principper fast funderet. Men det er en sørgelig kendsgerning at mange af de unge i vor tid, overgiver sig så hurtig til Satans indflydelse, men modstår Guds Ånd; og i mange tilfælde er forkerte vaner blevet så fastlåste, at de største anstrengelser fra ledernes side, ikke vil føre til at forme deres karakter i den rigtige retning.
