Vital Energy Imparted to Mind Through Brain—The Lord would have our minds clear and sharp, able to see points in His word and service, doing His will, depending upon His grace, bringing into His work a clear conscience and a thankful mind. This kind of joy promotes the circulation of the blood. Vital energy is imparted to the mind through the brain; therefore the brain should never be dulled by the use of narcotics or excited by the use of stimulants. Brain, bone, and muscle are to be brought into harmonious action that all may work as well-regulated machines, each part acting in harmony, not one being overtaxed.—Lt 100, 1898. {2MCP 407.1}

Sindet får vital livskraft igennem hjernen — Herren vil have at vore sind er klare og skarpe, i stand til at se pointerne i Hans ord og tjeneste, gøre Hans vilje, være afhængige af Hans nåde, have god samvittighed med i Hans arbejde og være taknemmelig. Den slags glæde ansporer blodcirkulationen. Livsvigtig energi tildeles sindet igennem hjernen; derfor må hjernen aldrig bedøves ved brug af narkotiske stoffer, eller opildnes af stimulanser. Hjernen, ben og muskler skal aktiveres i samstemmighed så alle kan arbejde som velsmurte maskiner, enhver handler i harmoni, ingen bliver overbebyrdede. — brev 100, 1898.
