Besides this, in each conference a fund should be raised to lend to worthy poor students who desire to give themselves to the missionary work; and in some cases they should even receive donations. When the Battle Creek College was first started, there was a fund placed in the Review and Herald office for the benefit of those who wished to obtain an education but had not the means. This was used by several students until they could get a good start; then from their earnings they would replace what they had drawn, so that others might be benefited by the fund. The youth should have it plainly set before them that they must work their own way as far as possible and thus partly defray their expenses. That which costs little will be appreciated little. But that which costs a price somewhere near its real value will be estimated accordingly. {6T 213.4}

Foruden dette bør der rejses et fond i hver konferens, hvor værdige ubemidlede elever, der ønsker at hellige sig til missionsarbejde, kan opnå lån; og i nogle tilfælde bør der endog ydes dem gaver. Da Battle Creek college først begyndte, var der et fond, indsat i Review and Herald, til hjælp for sådanne, som (214) ønskede at få en uddannelse, men ikke havde midler. Dette blev benyttet af flere elever, indtil de kom godt i gang, hvorefter de af deres overskudsmidler tilbagebetalte, hvad de havde modtaget, således at andre kunne få gavn af fondet. De unge bør have klar besked om, at de så langt som muligt selv må arbejde sig frem og således delvis bestride deres udgifter. Det, som kun koster lidt, bliver kun lidt påskønnet; men det, der tilnærmelsesvis koster, hvad det virkelig er værd, vil blive vurderet i forhold dertil.
