Those who are devoted to amusements; who love the society of those who love pleasure, have an aversion to religious exercises.

Dying legacies are a miserable substitute for living benevolence.

Pure air, good water, sunshine, the beautiful surroundings of nature...these are God's means for restoring the sick to health.

Let the children learn to see in nature an expression of the love and the wisdom of God; let the thought of Him be linked with bird and flower and tree; let all things seen become to them the interpreters of the unseen, and all the events of life be a means of divine teaching. As they learn thus to study the lessons in all created things and in all life's experiences, show that the same laws which govern the things of nature and the events of life are to control us, that they are given for our good, and that only in obedience to them can we find true happiness and success.
