亲爱的萨瑟兰弟兄：
§4
Dear Brother Sutherland,
§5
我们感谢我们的天父，马根兄弟正在恢复健康。我知道很多人都在为他祈祷。……{SpM 196.6}
§6
We are thankful to our heavenly Father that Brother Magan is being restored to health. I know that many are praying for him......?{SpM 196.6}
§7
我希望主赐给布伦森长老关于他的工作岗位的清晰亮光。一个人有特权知道自己正否在正确的位置上，关于他将在哪里投入他的精力，并不依赖于其他任何一个人的喜好或决定。{SpM 196.7}
§8
I hope that the Lord will give Elder Brunson clear light in regard to his post of duty. It is a man’s privilege to know for himself whether he is in the right place, without depending on any other man’s preferences or decisions as to where he shall devote his energies.?{SpM 196.7}
§9
每件事都要仔细考虑。布伦森弟兄应该把这件事带给主，然后为自己决定主对祂的仆人说什么。因为布伦森弟兄能在贝林斯普林斯充任一个职位，这并不证明别的某个地方就不需要他了。{SpM 196.8}
§10
Everything is to be carefully considered. Brother Brunson should take the matter to the Lord, and then decide for himself what the Lord says to his servant. Because Brother Brunson can fill a place at Berrien Springs, this is no evidence that he is not needed more in some other place.?{SpM 196.8}
§11
主将这事呈现在我面前的方式是，学校有一长串受薪教师的名单并不是最好的事情。它应当像先知学校一样。是要有足够的教师，但不要太多。学校可能非常需要一名额外的教师在其它地方，在那里，他的特殊才能可以发挥很大的优势。{SpM 197.1}
§12
The way that the Lord has presented the matter to me is that it is not the best thing for the school to have a long list of salaried instructors. It is to be as the schools of the prophets. It is to have a sufficient number of teachers, but not too many. An extra teacher at the school might be very much needed in some other place, where his special talent could be used to great advantage.?{SpM 197.1}
§13
我们在贝林斯普林斯的弟兄们伸出手来，把人从和学校工作一样重要的、非常需要他们的才干的工作中拉出来，不是明智的管理。我们需要向上帝献上最恳切的祈祷，以便将正确的人安置在正确的地方。要让主的旨意成就。谋事在人，成事在天。……{SpM 197.2}
§14
It is not wise general ship for our brethren at Berrien Springs to reach out and draw men from work just as important as the work of the school, work where their talents are greatly needed. We need to offer most earnest prayer to God, that the right men may be placed in the right places. Let the Lord’s will be done. Man may propose but God must do the disposing....?{SpM 197.2}
§15
教师要感受到对基督的完全依赖。应该尽可能地得到一个有能力的教师来负责圣经的学习。{SpM 197.3}
§16
The teacher is to feel entire dependence on Christ. As capable a teacher as can be secured should be provided to take charge of the Bible studies.?{SpM 197.3}
§17
有些学生完全能够担任一部分的教学工作。如果教师能利用这样的助手，就可节省许多精力和体力。可以要求有些学生用部分时间进行教学。不要让学生像圣经里所说的那些“常常学习，终久不能明白真道”（提后3:7）的人。要让他们领受了再传授。{SpM 197.4}
§18
There are those who are learners who are fully capable of taking some part in the work of instruction. If the teachers will employ the help thus provided, much care and labor will be spared them. There are students who can be asked to spend part of their time in teaching. Students are not to be like those represented in the Word of God as ever learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. They are to receive to impart.?{SpM 197.4}
§19
学生不要以为自己若应邀从事阅读、拼写或其它学科的教学，就失去渴望受教的时间。他不应该认为自己是在浪费时间，因为并没有浪费。他在将自己所领受的传授给别人时，就是在预备自己的心灵接受更多的知识。他可以记住，当他尽到自己的努力时，奉差遣为将要承受救恩的人效力的天使会审时度势，引导他的头脑，启发他的悟性，使他的思想能理解所学的课程，并使之豁然开朗。{SpM 197.5}
§20
The student should not think that because he is asked to conduct a class in reading or spelling or some other study, he is being deprived of any of the time he desires for instruction. He should not feel that he is losing time, because he is not. In imparting to others what he has received, he is preparing his mind to receive more. He may remember, as he strived to do his best, that the angels sent forth to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation, understand the situation, and will lead his mind, quickening his understanding and bringing to him thoughts that shed light on the subject under consideration, making it plain and clear.?{SpM 197.5}
§21
要让敬畏上帝的青年教师边教边学。当他的心中闪耀出真有价值的念头时，就要感谢上帝，赞美祂涌出一切的福分，认出和答谢祂是所有真正高尚思想的源头。……{SpM 197.6}
§22
The youthful teacher who fears God will be instructed while instructing. And as thoughts of real value flash into his mind, let him offer thanksgiving to God, praising Him as the One from whom all blessings flow, recognizing and acknowledging Him as the source of all true, noble thoughts....?{SpM 197.6}
§23
有这种事：重重地倚靠人、轻轻地依靠上帝。那些负责我们学校的人应当将学生们所具有的能用来帮助学校的每一才干都投入到积极的服务上。当这事所应当的做成时，就会发现学生们不会渴望足球、网球和其它娱乐活动了。学生们所需要受的教导是如何尽量使自己有用，无论他们可能被安置在什么地方。他们应该学会如何适应手头的工作。基督说：“我不求祢叫他们离开世界，只求祢保守他们脱离那恶者”（约17:15）。……{SpM 197.7}
§24
There is such a thing as leaning heavily on men and lightly on God. Those in charge of our schools should put into active service every talent possessed by the students that can be used for the help of the school. When this is done as it should be, it will be found that students will not hanker for football, tennis, and other amusements. What the students need to be taught is how to make themselves as useful as possible wherever they may be placed. They should learn how to adapt themselves to the work in hand. Christ says, “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.”....?{SpM 197.7}
§25
你知道我对贝林斯普林斯的学校深感兴趣。这是主的学校，我会把祂的想法寄给你考虑。愿祂帮助、加强和赐福你。要仰望而得活。祂必在你面前预备道路。只要有信心。上帝是我们的帮助者，我们的防卫。让我们按照圣经行事吧。我们受劝要“随时多方祷告祈求”（弗6:18）。我们又读到：“你们要谨慎自守，警醒祷告”（彼前4:7）。我们应当感到我们有特权祈祷、向上帝寻求智慧、指望从祂得到鼓励和属灵的力量。我们若是蒙允许知道一半包围着我们的危险，就会更多地祈祷了。{SpM 198.1}
§26
You know that I have a deep interest in the school at Berrien Springs. It is the Lord’s school, and I will send you his ideas to consider. May he help and strengthen and bless you. Look and live. He will prepare the way before you. Only have faith. God is our helper, our defense. Let us act in accordance with the Scriptures. We are exhorted to be found “praying always with all prayer and supplication.” Again we read, “Be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.” We are to feel it our privilege to pray, to seek wisdom from God, looking to him for encouragement and spiritual strength. If we were permitted to know one half of the dangers that surround us, we would pray more.?{SpM 198.1}
