A Wide Field To those who are accepted as teachers in our schools is opened a wide field for labor and cultivation, for the sowing of the seed, and the harvesting of the ripened grain. What should give greater satisfaction than to educate the children and youth to love God and keep His commandments? What should give greater joy than to see these children and youth following Christ, the Great Shepherd? What should shed more sunshine through the soul of the devoted worker than to know that his patient, persevering labor in the Lord is not in vain, to see his pupils experiencing joy in their souls for sins forgiven, to see them receiving the impressions of the Spirit of God in true nobility of character and in the restoration of the moral image of God, seeking for that peace which comes from the Prince of Peace? The truth a bondage? Yes, in one sense; for it binds the soul in willing captivity to the Saviour, bowing the heart to the gentleness of Christ. {CT 198.4}

En udbredt mark
Dem som antages som lærer på vore skoler (199) åbnes en udbredt arbejds- og opdyrkningsmark op for, til at udså frøene, og høste den modnede høst. Hvad er mere tilfredsstillende end at uddanne børn og unge til Guds kærlighed og holde hans bud? Hvad giver større glæde end at se disse børn og unge følge Kristus, den Store Hyrde. Hvad spreder mere solskin hos den helligede medarbejders sjæl, end at vide at hans tålmodige, udholdende arbejde i Herren ikke er forgæves, at se hans elever opleve glæde i deres sjæle for synder der er tilgivet, og se dem tage imod Guds Ånds indtryk, i sand karakteradel og genoprette Guds moralske billede, søge efter den fred som kommer fra Fredens Fyrste? Er sandheden en trældom? Ja, i en forstand; for den binder sjælen til frivilligt fangenskab med Frelseren, der bøjer hjertet til Kristi mildhed.
