September, 1903As I consider the state of things in Battle Creek, I tremble for our youth who go there. The light given me by the Lord, that our youth should not collect in Battle Creek to receive their education, has in no particular changed. The fact that the sanitarium has been rebuilt does not change the light. That which in the past has made Battle Creek a place unsuitable for the education of our youth makes it unsuitable today so far as influence is concerned. {8T 227.1}

September, 1903. Idet jeg betragter Battle Creeks tilstand, skælver jeg for vore unge som kommer der. Det lys jeg har fået af Herren, at vore unge ikke samles i Battle Creek for at få deres uddannelse, har på ingen måde ændret sig. At sanatoriet er blevet genopbygget ændrer ikke lyset. Det som tidligere har gjort Battle Creek til et upassende sted for uddannelse af vore unge, gør det i dag upassende så vidt det angår indflydelsen.
