"Our school is to take a higher position in an educational point of view than any other institution of learning, by opening before the young nobler views, aims, and objects in life, and educating them to have a correct knowledge of human duty and eternal interests. The great object in the establishment of our College was to give correct views, showing the harmony of science and Bible religion. LS 220.1"
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."
The EGW passage aligns with the principle in Proverbs 1:7 that true knowledge begins with the fear of the Lord. The emphasis on 'correct views' and 'harmony of science and Bible religion' reflects this principle.
"The Lord strengthened me and blessed the efforts made in behalf of the youth. A large number came forward for prayers. Some of these, through lack of watchfulness and prayer, had lost their faith and the evidence of their connection with God. Many testified that in taking this step they received the blessing of God. As a result of the meetings, quite a number presented themselves for baptism. LS 220.2"
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
The EGW passage describes people confessing and praying, leading to spiritual healing and baptism, which aligns with the James 5:16 verse about confession and prayer leading to healing.
