Hard for Youth to Bear Burdens.—The<br />

young can exert a powerful influence if they will<br />

give up their pride <strong>and</strong> selfishness <strong>and</strong> devote<br />

themselves to God; but as a general thing they will<br />

not bear burdens for others. They have to be<br />

carried themselves. The time has come when God<br />

requires a change in this respect. He calls upon<br />

young <strong>and</strong> old to be zealous <strong>and</strong> repent. If they<br />

continue in their state of lukewarmness, He will<br />

spew them out of His mouth. Says the True<br />

Witness, “I know thy works.” Young man, young<br />

woman, your works are known, whether they be<br />

good or whether they be evil. Are you rich in good<br />

works? Jesus comes to you as a counselor: “I<br />

counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that<br />

thou mayest be rich; <strong>and</strong> white raiment, that thou<br />

mayest be clothed, <strong>and</strong> that the shame of thy<br />

nakedness do not appear; <strong>and</strong> anoint thine eyes<br />

with eyesalve, that thou mayest see” (Revelation<br />

3:18).—Testimonies for the Church 1:485 (1867).<br />
