母亲写给孩子的信-第9章
（1859年10月30日写于纽约州布鲁克菲尔德）
我亲爱的亨利和爱德森：我要给你们写几行字。亨利：你记得在给你的上一封信中我给你提了一个建议。我认为那会是一个好计划。我并不是要强迫；我只是建议。我不愿意以乏味或无聊的事约束你。但我认为，如果你能看出我建议的计划会帮助你有原则和形成好品格，你就会乐意听取了。{AY53.2}[1]

（Brookfield, N. Y., October, 30, 1859）
My Dear Henry and Edson,I will write you a few lines. You remember, Henry, in my last letter to you I made a suggestion of what I thought to be a good plan. I do not enforce this; I merely suggest it. I would not bind anything upon you that is tedious or burdensome. But I thought such a plan?as I suggested, if you could see the help it would be to you in having a principle, and in forming a good character, you would readily adopt it.{AY 53.1}[1]

亲爱的孩子们：我们不想强迫你们，只是想帮助你们做正确的事。我们爱你们。没有人能像我们一样爱你们。没有人能像我们一样关心你们。我们非常渴望你们远离罪恶的行径及恶习。撒但对青年人的心思有很大的控制力，通常是因为他们没有到真实的源头那里去求力量以抵挡试探并战胜之。上帝喜欢祂的孩子信靠祂，并祈求祂帮助他们。亲爱的孩子们，主的应许是：“祈求，就必得着。”你们相信自己得到了所求东西，就必得着。如今你们首先已经拥有了“祈求，就必得着”的应许。接着要思考你们最需要克服的是什么。要了解你们自己的缺点，然后当你们感觉靠你们自己的力量无法战胜时，要祈求上帝帮助你们。如此行你们便是承认自己的软弱，投身上帝的膀臂。祂必在你们努力行义的时候扶持你们。但要小心，不要过分依赖你们自己的力量和努力。总要认清撒但正在不断地努力要诱导你们那年轻、没有经验的心去做错事。为了抵挡他的试探，你们必须依靠比你们自己更强大的力量。你们祷告祈求的，“只要信是得着的，就必得着”（可11:24）。不要只是来到上帝面前并祈求；而要相信祂必按祂所说的去做。你们祈求时，要相信祂会答应，并相信你们确实从祂那里得到了力量。{AY54.1}[2]

We do not wish to drive you, dear boys, but help you to do right. We love you. No others can love you as we do. None can feel the interest in you that we do. We feel very anxious that you should be kept from sinful ways and evil habits. Satan has great control over the minds of the young, generally, because they do not go to the true source for strength to resist his temptations, and to overcome. God loves to have children put their trust in him, and ask him to help them. The promise is, my dear boys, “Ask, and ye shall receive.” Believe ye receive the things ye ask for, and ye shall have them. Now in the first place you have the promise that if you ask you shall receive. Then think what you most need to overcome. Acquaint yourselves with your failings, and then as you feel you cannot overcome in your own strength, ask God to help you. By doing this you acknowledge your own weakness, and throw yourselves upon God’s arm. He will sustain you in your efforts to do right. But be careful and do not rely too much on your own strength and efforts. Ever realize that Satan is continually?trying to lead your young, inexperienced minds to do wrong. In order to resist his temptations, you must rely upon a power stronger than your own. “Believe ye receive the things ye ask for, and ye shall have them.” Do not merely come to God and ask; but believe that he will do just as he has said he would. As you ask, believe he answers, and believe you do receive strength from him.{AY 54.1}[2]

我亲爱的孩子们，要学会信靠上帝。要学会求助于那位大能的拯救者。在你们祈求以先，祂就已经知道了你们的需要；但是祂已使你们和我们每一个人有责任就近祂，且凭信心祈求我们所需要的。我们必须遵守祂的话语中所定的条件，也就是“祈求”。要告诉亲爱的救主你们需要什么。那曾说：“让小孩子到我这里来，不要禁止他们”（太19:14）的主，不会拒绝你们的祈求，而要差遣祂的天使保守并看护你们脱离恶天使，并使你易于行义。于是就比你们依靠自己的力量去努力要容易得多。你们永远可以这样想：我已经祈求上帝帮助了，祂定会帮助。我要靠赖祂的力量行义。我不会使上帝派来守护我的亲爱的天使伤心。我绝不会行事使他们远离我；因为如果他们离开我，就会有恶天使环绕我，控制我的行为，并诱导我行恶，使我的父母伤心。但我们相信善天使不会离开你们；因为我们相信你们会行义，鼓励他们的警醒照顾。{AY55.1}[3]

My dear boys, learn to trust in God. Learn to go to him who is mighty to save. He knows what you need before you ask him; but he has made this your duty, and the duty of every one of us, to come to him and ask him in confidence for what we need. We must comply with the conditions laid down in his word, namely, “ASK.” Tell the dear Saviour just what you need. He that said, “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not,” will not reject your prayer. But he will send his angels to guard you and protect you from the evil angels, and will make it easy for you to do right. Then it will be much easier than if you should try in your own strength. You may ever feel like this, I have asked God to help me, and he will do it. I will do right in his strength. I will not grieve the dear angels that God has appointed?to watch over me. I will never take a course to drive them from me; for if they should leave me I should then have evil angels around me to control my actions, and lead me to do wickedly, and grieve my parents. But we do not believe that good angels will leave you; because we believe you will do right, and encourage their watchful care.{AY 55.1}[3]

你们决非太年幼而不能成为好基督徒，在基督徒生活中拥有儿童的经验，并知道你们的罪已在你们救赎主的血中被洗净。时间短促，亲爱的孩子们，我们希望你们爱上帝，并准备好在上帝的城中与圣洁善良的天使同住。除了善良和纯洁，诚实和圣洁之外，没有什么能进入天国。主知道你们年轻，祂必帮助你们行义，并赐你们恩典战胜每一项错误，每一个罪恶。你们可能不会立刻就获得完全的胜利；但是要坚持，继续努力。要说：我要行义，我要抵挡罪恶，主必帮助我。{AY56.1}[4]
母亲写给孩子的信-第9章
You are none too young to be good Christians, and have children’s experience in the Christian life, and know that your sins are washed away in the blood of your Redeemer. Time is short, dear children, and we want you to love God, and be prepared to dwell with pure and good angels in the city of God. Nothing but goodness and purity, honesty and holiness, can enter heaven. The Lord knows you are young, and he will help you to do right, and give you grace to overcome every wrong, every evil. You may not obtain the entire victory at once; but persevere, keep trying. Say, I will do right, I will resist evil, and the Lord will help me.{AY 56.1}[4]
