The youth need your labor. If you were a converted man, daily learning lessons in the school of Christ, then your labors would be a savor of life unto life. Then you could work with patience and love, and in the power of God, for the souls of youth who are exposed to temptation. Devote a portion of the time you consume in long addresses, to personal labor for the youth who need your help. Teach them the claims of God are upon them; pray with them. There are many who are bound in evil habits with fetters as firm as steel. The poor victims are fascinated with the charms of Satan’s allurements and are unable to break away and stand in God-given freedom. They have lost years; shall they lose the year just entered upon? Will the principal of the school awaken to a sense of his responsibilities and give his mind and heart to the salvation of the students? If not, then let another take his place. Expenses should not run on and on, while nothing, or next to nothing, is done in the very line for which the school was brought into existence. {5T 589.2}

Så lad os da takke Gud for, at der er nogle få igen, som tilfældet var med Johannes, der kan fortælle om deres erfaringer i begyndelsen af dette budskab og om modtagelsen af det, som nu er os så kært. Men den ene efter den anden falder på sin post og det er kun klogt, at vi bereder andre til at optage arbejdet, hvor de forlader det.
