The future of society will be determined by the youth of today. Satan is making earnest, persevering efforts to corrupt the mind and debase the character of every youth; and shall we who have more experience stand as mere spectators, and see him accomplish his purpose without hindrance? Let us stand at our post as minutemen, to work for these youth, and through the help of God to hold them back from the pit of destruction. In the parable, while men slept the enemy sowed tares; and while you, my brethren and sisters, are unconscious of his work, Satan is gathering an army of youth under his banner; and he exults, for through them he carries on his warfare against God. {CT 47.1}

De unge i dag vil bestemme det fremtidige samfund. Satan anstrenger sig alvorligt og udholdende for at fordærve sindet og fornedre enhver ungs karakter; og skal vi som har mere erfaring, så som tilskurere, og se at han udretter sit formål uden hindringer? Lad os stå på vor post som vagtfolk, arbejde for disse unge, og ved holde dem, ved Guds hjælp, tilbage fra fordærvelsens hule.
