Let me tell you what I know of this heavenly Guest. The Holy Spirit was brooding over the youth during the school hours; but some hearts were so cold and dark that they had no desire for the Spirit’s presence, and the light of God was withdrawn. That heavenly Visitant would have opened all understanding, would have given wisdom and knowledge in all lines of study that could be employed to the glory of God. The Lord’s messenger came to convince of sin and to soften hearts hardened by long estrangement from God. He came to reveal the great love wherewith God has loved those youth. They are God’s heritage, and educators need the “higher education” before they are qualified to be teachers and guides of youth. {8T 62.2}

Lad mig fortælle jer hvad jeg ved om denne himmelske gæst. Helligånden ruger over de unge i deres skoletimer; men nogle hjerter var så kolde og mørke at de ikke havde noget ønske om Åndens nærværelse og Guds lys blev trukket tilbage. Den himmelske gæst ville have åbnet op for al forståelse, ville have givet visdom og kundskab i alle kundskabsgrene så de kunne bruges til Guds ære. Herrens budbringer kom for at overbevise om synd og for at blødgøre hårde hjerter, forhærdet af nedkøling over for Gud. Han kom for at åbenbare den store kærlighed hvorved Gud har elsket disse unge. De er Guds arv og lærerne behøver den "højere uddannelse" før de er kvalificeret til at lære og vejlede unge.
