We shall have to stand before magistrates to answer for our allegiance to the law of God, to make known the reasons of our faith. And the youth should understand these things. They should know the things that will come to pass before the closing up of the world’s history. These things concern our eternal welfare, and teachers and students should give more attention to them. By pen and voice, knowledge should be imparted which will be meat in due season, not only to the young, but to those of mature years also. {6T 128.3}

[Vi vil blive stillet for øvrigheden for at svare for vor troskab mod Guds lov og for at redegøre for grundene for vor tro. Og de unge bør (129) forstå disse ting. De bør have kendskab til, hvad der vil ske, inden verdens historie afsluttes. Disse ting angår vor evige velfærd og lærere og elever skulle skænke dem mere opmærksomhed. I skrift og tale bør der meddeles kundskab, som vil være mad i rette tid, ikke blot for de unge, men også for folk i moden alder.]
