The mind, the soul, is built up by that upon which it feeds; and it rests with us to determine upon what it shall 127 be fed. It is within the power of everyone to choose the topics that shall occupy the thoughts and shape the character. Of every human being privileged with access to the Scriptures, God says, "I have written to him the great things of My law." "Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Hosea 8:12; Jeremiah 33:3.

Sindet, sjælen, opbygges ved det, hvoraf de næres; og det påhviler os at afgøre, hvorved de skal næres. Det står i ethvert menneskes magt at vælge de emner, der skal beskæftige tankerne og forme karakteren. Gud siger om ethvert menneske, der har den forrettighed at have adgang til skrifterne:»Jeg skriver ham mange love."»Kald på mig, så vil jeg svare dig og kundgøre dig store og lønlige ting, du ikke kender.« Hos. 8,12; Jer. 33,3.
