Chap. 06 - Students to do Missionary Work While in Training
§3
【教育的目的】
§4
真教育乃是传道的训练。每一个上帝的儿女都是奉命作传道人的。我们蒙召为上帝和同胞服务。我们的教育目标,就是使自己适应这种服务。(《服务真诠》第395页){ChS 64.1}[1]
§5
【Object of Education】
§6
True education is missionary training. Every son and daughter of God is called to be a missionary; we are called to the service of God and our fellow men; and to fit us for this service should be the object of our education.--The Ministry of Healing, p. 395. {ChS 64.1}[1]
§7
为了防止青年人受到仇敌的试探,我们已经开办了学校,使他们能准备在今生作有用的人,并且在永恒的岁月中事奉上帝。(《基督教育之研究》第495页){ChS 64.2}[2]
§8
It is to fortify the youth against the temptations of the enemy that we have established schools where they may be qualified for usefulness in this life and for the service of God throughout eternity.--Counsels to Teachers, p. 495. {ChS 64.2}[2]
§9
凡努力追求知识,要为无知将亡的人服务的人,正是在实行上帝对于人类的伟大旨意。他既无私地为造福他人而工作,就符合了基督化教育的最高理想。(《基督教育之研究》第545页){ChS 64.3}[3]
§10
He who strives to obtain knowledge in order that he may labor for the ignorant and perishing, is acting his part in fulfilling Gods great purpose for mankind. In unselfish service for the blessing of others he is meeting the high ideal of Christian education.--Counsels to Teachers, p. 545. {ChS 64.3}[3]
§11
上帝呼召坚强,献身,舍己的男女青年。他们要赶往前方,经过在学校里短时期学习后准备好,出去把信息传给世人。(《基督教育之研究》第549页){ChS 64.4}[4]
§12
The Lord calls for strong, devoted, self-sacrificing young men and women, who will press to the front, and who, after a short time spent in school, will go forth prepared to give the message to the world.--Counsels to Teachers, p. 549. {ChS 64.4}[4]
§13
【且行且学】
§14
学生需要花一定的时间进行传道工作。这对于他们全面的教育是必不可少的。他们要用时间熟悉当地附近各个家庭的属灵需要。学生的学习负担不可过重,以致没有时间运用得来的知识。要鼓励他们认真地向信从谬道的人传道,与他们结识,引导他们认识真理。他们如能谦卑地工作,向基督寻求智慧,警醒祷告,就能把那些已丰富了他们自己生活的知识传给别人。(《基督教育之研究》第545,546页){ChS 64.5}[5]
§15
【Learning by Doing】
§16
It is necessary to their complete education that students be given time to do missionary work--time to become acquainted with the spiritual needs of the families in the community around them. They should not be so loaded down with studies that they have no time to use the knowledge they have acquired. They should be encouraged to make earnest missionary effort for those in error, becoming acquainted with them, and taking to them the truth. By working in humility, seeking wisdom from Christ, praying and watching unto prayer, they may give to others the knowledge that has enriched their lives.--Counsels to Teachers, pp. 545, 546. {ChS 64.5}[5]
§17
不论什么地方,只要有可能,学生们在上学期间就应从事城市的传道工作。他们应当在周围的城镇和乡村做传道工作。他们可以结队出去进行有益的基督徒服务。学生们应当看清楚自己对上帝现在所负的责任。他们不要只看到毕业后要为上帝作大工,而当学习如何在上学期间就负起基督的轭,无私地为别人服务。(《基督教育之研究》第547页) {ChS 65.1}[6]
§18
Wherever possible, students should, during the school year, engage in city mission work. They should do missionary work in the surrounding towns and villages. They can form themselves into bands to do Christian help work. Students should take a broad view of their present obligations to God. They are not to look forward to a time, after the school term closes, when they will do some large work for God, but should study how, during their student life, to yoke up with Christ in unselfish service for others.--Counsels to Teachers, p. 547. {ChS 65.1}[6]
§19
青年人单单领受重要的教训还是不够的。他们还必须学会把所接受的东西分出去。(《基督教育之研究》第545页){ChS 65.2}[7]
§20
It is not enough to fill the minds of the youth with lessons of deep importance; they must learn to impart what they have received.--Counsels to Teachers, p. 545. {ChS 65.2}[7]
§21
务要把传道士从我们的大学和医护训练学校中送到远方去。学生们在学校时,应当利用每一个机会,为这项工作做好准备。他们要在这里接受考查,看看适于做什么,是否有来自上面的把握。(《基督教育之研究》第549页){ChS 65.3}[8]
§22
From our colleges and training schools missionaries are to be sent forth to distant lands. While at school, let the students improve every opportunity to prepare for this work. Here they are to be tested and proved, that it may be seen what their adaptability is, and whether they have a right hold from above.--Counsels to Teachers, p. 549. {ChS 65.3}[8]
§23
【鼓励布道的精神】
§24
我们学校中的师生需要与上帝接触。上帝能为他们成就比过去更大的事,因为在过去祂的道路受到了阻隔。如果我们鼓励传道的精神,并从普通课程中划出数小时来进行这项工作,天上许多的福分就会赐下来。我们的信心和属灵热忱越高,就越能认识上帝的旨意。(《基督教育之研究》第546页){ChS 65.4}[9]
§25
【Encourage a Missionary Spirit】
§26
The teachers and students in our schools need the divine touch. God can do much more for them than He has done, because in the past His way has been restricted. If a missionary spirit is encouraged, even if it takes some hours from the program of regular study, much of Heavens blessing will be given, provided there is more faith and spiritual zeal, more of a realization of what God will do.--Counsels to Teachers, p. 546. {ChS 65.4}[9]
§27
【在放假的时候】
§28
在放假的时候,许多人就有机会出去担任传道的书报员。忠心的书报员必得进入许多家庭,留下包括现代真理的读物。我们的学生应当学会如何推销我们的书刊。现在所需要的,乃是具有深刻基督徒经验的人,心智均衡、强壮而受过良好教育的人,来从事这方面的工作。一些人赋有才能,造诣和经验,能教育青年担任书报员工作,使他们成就比现今更大的事。凡具有这方面经验的人,有特殊的义务来教导别人。(《基督教育之研究》第546,547页){ChS 65.5}[10]
§29
【When School Closes】
§30
When school closes, there is opportunity for many to go out into the field as evangelistic canvassers. The faithful colporteur finds his way into many homes, where he leaves reading matter containing the truth for this time. Our students should learn how to sell our books. There is need of men of deep Christian experience, men of well-balanced minds, strong, well-educated men, to engage in this branch of the work. Some have the talent, education, and experience that would enable them to educate the youth for canvassing work in such a way that much more would be accomplished than is now being done. Those who have this experience have a special duty to perform in teaching others. --Counsels to Teachers, pp. 546, 547. {ChS 65.5}[10]
§31
【唱歌服务】
§32
凡已学会以美妙清晰的音调歌唱甜蜜的福音诗歌的人,能作为诗歌传道者做许多的美事。他们必获得许多机会运用上帝所赐的才能,把歌声和阳光带到许多被悲伤和痛苦遮暗的孤寂之地,唱给那些少有机会进入教堂的人听。{ChS 66.1}[11]
§33
【The Ministry of Song】
§34
Students who have learned to sing sweet gospel songs with melody and distinctness, can do much good as singing evangelists. They will find many opportunities to use the talent that God has given them in carrying melody and sunshine into many lonely places darkened by sorrow and affliction, singing to those who seldom have church privileges. {ChS 66.1}[11]
§35
同学们,你们要到大街和小巷中去,努力接近上层和下层阶级的人士。要进入穷人和富人的家,一有机会,就发问:“你喜欢我们唱几首福音诗歌吗?”只要人心受了感动,你就有机会向上帝献上几句感恩的祈祷。不肯听的人是极少的,这样的工作乃是真正的传道工作。(《基督教育之研究》第547,548页){ChS 66.2}[12]
§36
Students, go out into the highways and hedges. Endeavor to reach the higher as well as the lower classes. Enter the homes of the rich as well as the poor, and as you have opportunity, ask, Would you be pleased to have us sing some gospel hymns? Then as hearts are softened, the way may open for you to offer a few words of prayer for the blessing of God. Not many will refuse to listen. Such ministry is genuine missionary work.--Counsels to Teachers, pp. 547, 548. {ChS 66.2}[12]
