Chapter 83—Geriatrics . Usefulness Not at an End—The aged also need the helpful influences of the family. In the home of brethren and sisters in Christ can most nearly be made up to them the loss of their own home. If encouraged to share in the interests and occupations of the household, it will help them to feel that their usefulness is not at an end. Make them feel that their help is valued, that there is something yet for them to do in ministering to others, and it will cheer their hearts and give interest to their lives.—The Ministry of Healing, 204 (1905). {2MCP 745.1}

(745) Ikke nyttig til sidst — De gamle behøver også familiernes hjælpsomme bistand. I hjem hos brødre og søstre i Kristus kan de i fuldere grad end noget andet sted erstattes af tabet af deres eget hjem. Hvis de opmuntres til at tage del i familiens interesser og sysler, så vil de lede dem til af føle, at de endnu kan gøre nogen nytte. Lad dem forstå, at man sætter pris på deres hjælp, og at de endnu kan gøre noget for at hjælpe andre. Dette vil glæde deres hjerter og gøre livet interessant for dem. — I den store Læges fodspor, 204 (1905).
