The student of the Bible should be taught to approach it in the spirit of a learner. We are to search its pages, not for proof to sustain our opinions, but in order to know what God says. . . . One of the chief causes of mental inefficiency and moral weakness is the lack of concentration. . . .

The ant prepares for future seasons; but many gifted with reasoning powers fail to prepare for the future immortal life. — Ellen G. White, Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, p. 190.
