Let pupils be impressed with the thought that the body is a temple in which God desires to dwell, that it must be kept pure, the abiding place of high and noble thoughts. As in the study of physiology they see that they are indeed "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14), they will be inspired with reverence. Instead of marring God's handiwork, they will have an ambition to make all that is possible of themselves, in order to fulfill the Creator's glorious plan. Thus they will come to regard obedience to the laws of health, not as a matter of sacrifice or self-denial, but as it really is, an inestimable privilege and blessing.

Indprent eleverne den tanke, at legemet er et tempel, hvor Gud ønsker at bo, og at det må bevares rent, som et blivende sted for høje og ædle tanker. Når de ved studiet af fysiologi ser, at de i sandhed er»underfuldt skabt« (Sl. 139,14), vil dette indgyde dem ærbødighed. I stedet for at ødelægge Guds værk vil de stræbe efter at gøre alt, hvad de selv har mulighed for at gøre, for at kunne opfylde Skaberens herlige hensigt. På denne måde vil de komme til at betragte lydighed over for sundhedens love, ikke som en opofrelse eller selvfornægtelse, men som det, det i virkeligheden er: som en uvurderlig forrettighed og velsignelse.
