Number Twelve Testimony <strong>for</strong><strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong>Chapter 86 - Address to <strong>the</strong> <strong>You</strong>ng<strong>You</strong>ng Sabbathkeepers are given to pleasure seeking. I saw that <strong>the</strong>re is not onein twenty who knows what experimental religion is. They are constantly graspingafter something to satisfy <strong>the</strong>ir desire <strong>for</strong> change, <strong>for</strong> amusement; and unless <strong>the</strong>y areundeceived and <strong>the</strong>ir sensibilities aroused so that <strong>the</strong>y can say from <strong>the</strong> heart, “I countall things but loss <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> excellency of <strong>the</strong> knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord,” <strong>the</strong>yare not worthy of Him and will come short of everlasting life. The young, generally,are in a terrible deception, and yet <strong>the</strong>y profess godliness. Their unconsecrated livesare a reproach to <strong>the</strong> Christian name; <strong>the</strong>ir example is a snare to o<strong>the</strong>rs. They hinder<strong>the</strong> sinner, <strong>for</strong> in nearly every respect <strong>the</strong>y are no better than unbelievers. They have <strong>the</strong>word of God, but its warnings, admonitions, reproofs, and corrections are unheeded, asare also <strong>the</strong> encouragements and promises to <strong>the</strong> obedient and faithful. God’s promisesare all on condition of humble obedience. One pattern only is given to <strong>the</strong> young,but how do <strong>the</strong>ir lives compare with <strong>the</strong> life of Christ? I feel alarmed as I witnesseverywhere <strong>the</strong> frivolity of young men and young women who profess to believe <strong>the</strong>truth. God does not seem to be in <strong>the</strong>ir thoughts. Their minds are filled with nonsense.Their conversation is only empty, vain talk.496
