God has been moving upon the hearts of young men to devote themselves to the ministry. They have come to our college in the hope of finding advantages there which they could obtain nowhere else. But the solemn convictions of the Spirit of God have been lightly regarded by teachers who know but little of the worth of souls and feel but little burden for their salvation, and they have endeavored to turn the youth from the path into which God had been seeking to lead them. {5T 85.2}

Gud har bevæget på unge mænds hjerter, at de skal hellige sig til tjenesten. De er kommet på vort college i håb om at få fordele, de ikke kan få andre steder. Men Guds Ånds højtidelige aftryk (conviction) er blevet taget let af lærerne, som kun ved lidt om de unges værdi og føler kun en lille byrde for deres frelse og de har bestræbt sig for at vende de unge fra den sti Gud har forsøgt at lede dem på.
