Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students - Ellen G. White

The Lord calls upon His people to put away
indolence and indifference, and to act like
converted men and women. Diligent work is to be
done in the circulation of our literature. Faithful
work, marked by Christian politeness, is to be done
in many missionary lines. The truth is to go forth as
a lamp that burneth, that the real meaning of higher
education may be clearly understood.
In our towns and cities are souls living in
ignorance of the truths of God’s word; many are
perishing in sin. Some out of curiosity come to our
houses of worship. Let every discourse preached be
a revelation of the great truths applicable to this
time. Unveil the mysteries of redemption before
the students in the school and before the
congregations who assemble to hear the word. This
is knowledge needed by the educated and the
unlearned. The highest education will be found in
studying the mystery of godliness. The great truths
of God’s word, if believed and received and carried
into the life practice, will result in education of the
highest order.
