致罗伊·洛根
亲爱的弟兄：
金姐妹曾对我说，你是一个年轻人，想要关于进入一所由不信的人开办的骨病学校的建议。{PC 220.4}
我要提醒你当心。在置身于你将被不信的学生包围，且受那些不受大教师主耶稣基督教导的老师们指教方面，你怎么小心都不会过分。{PC 220.5}
人们经常看到，那似乎是在世俗机构获得教育的有利机会，乃是仇敌的网罗。学生们的时间已经完全被占用，将学习上帝的话语的时间排斥掉了。他们修完了学习的课程，但他们却不配研究主的工作。{PC 220.6}
你不必去世俗的学校接受教育;因为在那些了解真理的人所主持的学校里，你面前有极好的机会，你可以在那里接受圣经知识的教育。如果你想让自己适合从事医疗布道工作，你可以在洛马林达找到最好的机会。如果你需要初步的工作，你可以在希尔兹堡的学院获得这个。你上这些学校中的一所，而不去与那些既不教导也不遵守上帝诫命的人为伍，岂不是智慧之举吗?{PC 220.7}
即使你置身于最好的影响之下，你也会有足够激烈的仗要打。你不必要地置身于老师不尊重主的诫命、安息日不被认为是祂的标志的学校里，这难道不是一种放肆吗?……{PC 221.1}
我们的青年最需要的是受到彻底的指教，使他们能将主的道教导将亡的人。基督说：“我对你们所说的话就是灵，就是生命”(约6:63)。要研究这道。要怀有最严格的忠诚。爱真理的心和真正渴望提高对这道的理解力，会使你在侍奉上帝上不至于闲懒不结果子。你在学习的时候，应该寻找机会向别人解释真理。{PC 221.2} {LLM 184.5}
你在不确定的时候，那试探人的正看着你。他会做出坚决的努力，确保你为他的目的服务。多么少的人了解撒但的巨大欺骗能力啊!要关上他可能进入的每一扇门。要把你自己，灵与魂与身子，都交给上帝。{PC 221.3}
要把你自己置于那些教导和服从真理的人之下，并从他们那里学习你所能学到的一切。当你置身于圣灵的影响之下时，你就能在上帝的光中见光，你就会因祂的真理而快乐。你要在祂的光环里，在祂的光被珍爱的地方，然后“你们的光也当这样照在人前，叫他们看见你们的好行为，便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父”(太5:16)。……{PC 221.4}
Roy Logan,
Dear Brother,
Sister King has spoken to me of you as a young man desiring advice in regard to entering a school of Osteopathy, conducted by unbelievers.?{PC 220.4}
I would caution you to be on your guard. You cannot be too careful how you place yourself in a position where you will be surrounded by students who are unbelievers, and receive instruction from teachers who are not taught by the great Teacher, the Lord Jesus Christ.?{PC 220.5}
It has frequently been seen that what seemed to be favorable opportunities for obtaining an education in worldly institutions, were snares of the enemy. The time of the students has been fully occupied, to the exclusion of the study of God’s word. They have completed the course of study, but they were not fitted to take up the study of the work of the Lord.?{PC 220.6}
It is not necessary for you to go to a worldly school to obtain an education; for there are excellent opportunities before you in schools conducted by those who understand the truth, and where you can receive an education in Bible knowledge. If you desire to fit yourself for medical missionary work, you can find at Loma Linda the very best opening. If you need preliminary work, this you can obtain at the college in Healdsburg. Would it not be wisdom for you to attend one of these schools, rather than to place yourself in the company of those who neither teach nor obey the commandments of God??{PC 220.7}
You will have severe enough battles to fight, even when you place yourself under the best influences possible. Would it not be presumption to place yourself unnecessarily in school where the teachers do not have respect to the Lord’s commandments, where the Sabbath is not recognized as His sign?....?{PC 221.1}
Our young men need above all else, to be thoroughly instructed that they may teach the way of the Lord to perishing souls. “The words that I speak unto you,” says Christ, “they are spirit, and they are life.” Study the word. The strictest fidelity is to be cherished. The love of the truth, and a genuine desire for improvement in the understanding of the Word, will make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the service of God. As you learn, you should seek for opportunities to explain the truth to others.?{PC 221.2}
The tempter is watching you, in your uncertainty. He will make a determined effort to secure you to serve his purposes. How few understand Satan’s great power to deceive! Close every door where he might enter. Surrender yourself, body, soul, and spirit, to God.?{PC 221.3}
Place yourself under those who teach and obey the truth, and learn all you can from them. When you place yourself under the influence of the Holy Spirit, then you can see light in God’s light, and you will rejoice in His truth. Keep yourself in the circle of His light, where His light is cherished, and then “let your light so shine before men that they, by seeing your good works, may glorify your Father which is in heaven.”.... -?{PC 221.4}
