"How much better is this plan than for students to go through school without obtaining a practical education in field work, and, at the end of their course, leave under a burden of debt, with but little realization of the difficulties they will have to meet in new and untried fields! How hard it will be for them to meet the financial problems that are connected with pioneer work in foreign lands! And what a burden someone will have to carry until the debts incurred by the student have been paid! 9T 78.2"
"Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law."
The EGW passage directly addresses the issue of debt and its negative impact on students entering missionary work. This aligns with the principle in Romans 13:8 to 'owe no man anything.' The connection is clear and relevant.
