What does the Inspired Pen say?

• “With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Saviour might be carried to the whole world! How soon might the end come--the end of suffering and sorrow and sin!” Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students p555
