The Children NeglectedAltogether too little attention has been given our children and youth. The older members of the church have not looked upon them with tenderness and sympathy, desiring that they might be advanced in the divine life, and the children have therefore failed to develop in the Christian life as they should have done. Some church members who have loved and feared God in the past are allowing their business to be all-absorbing, and are hiding their light under a bushel. They have forgotten to serve God and are making their business the grave of their religion. {6T 196.1}

Børnene forsømmes
Alt for lidt opmærksomhed er blevet skænket vore børn og vor ungdom. De ældre i menigheden har ikke betragtet dem med ømhed og sympati og med ønske om, at de måtte gøre fremgang i det guddommelige liv og børnene har derfor ikke opnået at udvikle kristenlivet, således som de skulle have gjort. Nogle menighedsmedlemmer, der tidligere har elsket og frygtet Gud, tillader, at deres forretning bliver det alt opslugende og skjuler deres lys under en skæppe. De har glemt at tjene Gud og gør deres forretning til en grav for deres religion.
