"The young manhood of America is a gift to the world. How important that it should be definitely and decidedly on the side of truth and right. Cherish the desire to be useful to young men individually by leading them to the foot of the cross. Remember how potent will be the influence of your personal example. Your priviledges are great in being permitted to labor in so important, so hopeful and promising a sphere. From the bottom of my heart, I pray that you each, with all who have been or may yet be students in the training school, may be ... by God. Yours most affectionately, George Williams."
