account, they will have the companionship of heavenly angels; and as
workers together with God, it is their privilege to sing and pray and
believe, and work with courage and freedom. The confidence and trust

fellow workers, will lead to prayer and praise and the simplicity of
true faith.—

We should educate the youth to help the youth; and as they seek
to do this work, they will gain an experience that will qualify them to
become consecrated workers in a larger sphere.—

Church 6:115

their own neighborhoods and in other places. Let all set their hearts

qualifying themselves to do that for which they are best adapted.—

Secret of Success
Follow on, young men, to know the Lord, and you will know
that “His going forth is prepared as the morning.” Seek constantly
to improve. Strive earnestly for identity with the Redeemer. Live
by faith in Christ. Do the work He did. Live for the saving of the
souls for whom He laid down His life. Try in every way to help those

with whom you come in contact.... Talk with your Elder Brother, who
will complete your education, line upon line, precept upon precept,
here a little and there a little. A close connection with Him who
offered Himself as a sacrifice to save a perishing world, will make you
acceptable workers.—
