As we see God raising up young men for His work, we rejoice to see them increasing in the fear of the Lord in proportion as they increase in the knowledge of the truth. Such ones will cultivate a reverence for God and for His sacred service. (RY 48.1) MC VC

Let the older workers encourage the younger ones, never speaking lightly or disparagingly of them. (RY 48.2) MC VC

Day by day the young student teacher is storing away a fresh supply of knowledge. His understanding is enlightened. He can say, “God has opened my eyes to behold wondrous things out of His Word.” A sense of God’s mercy and greatness makes him childlike in his submissiveness and his willingness to serve. (RY 48.3) MC VC

These teachers do not feel the repression they would feel in the presence of older teachers. Their hearts glow with the love of God. The students catch the spirit, the windows of the heart are opened heavenward, and songs of gratitude ascend from hearts that burn with the love of God. As the teachers and students seek to learn their duty, with an unfeigned desire to be conformed to the image of God, they gain power to conquer the stubbornness of a selfish will. (RY 48.4) MC VC

Oh, I can see wisdom in thoroughly converted young men and young women engaging in the work of teaching. As they give themselves fully to God, they will learn more and more of Him.... (RY 48.5) MC VC

We do not in any way underrate the older teachers. No; we would encourage older and younger teachers to labor for God. But I am seeking to show you that schools may be managed, and managed successfully, by men who are not the most advanced in years and experience. (RY 48.6) MC VC
