Have you not been afraid of the Holy Spirit? At times this Spirit has come with all-pervading influence into the school at Battle Creek and into the schools at other places. Did you recognize His presence? Did you accord Him the honor due to a heavenly messenger? When the Spirit seemed to be striving with the youth, did you say: “Let us put aside all study, for it is evident that we have among us a heavenly guest? Let us give praise and honor to God.” Did you, with contrite hearts, bow in prayer with your students, pleading that you might receive the blessing that the Lord was presenting to you? {8T 61.2}

Har I ikke været bange for Helligånden? Til tider er denne Ånd kommet med gennemstrømmene indflydelse til skolen i Battle Creek og til skoler andre steder. Genkender I hans tilstedeværelse? Giver I ham den ære, en himmelsk budbringer skal have? Medens Ånden synes at strides med de unge, sagde I: "Lad os lægge alle studier til side, for det er tydeligt at vi har en himmelsk gæst blandt os? Lad os give Gud pris og ære." bøjede I jer da med sønderbrudt hjerte, i bøn med jeres studerende og bad om I så om at I måtte få den velsignelse som Herren overbragte jer?
