The water cure establishment at ----- has been the best institution in the United States. Its managers have been doing a great and good work as far as the treatment of disease is concerned. Yet we cannot have confidence in their religious principles. While they profess to be Christians, they recommend to their patients card playing, dancing, and attending theaters, all of which have a tendency to evil, or, to say the very least, have the appearance of evil, and are directly contrary to the teachings of Christ and His apostles. Conscientious Sabbathkeepers who visit these institutions for the purpose of regaining health cannot receive the benefit they would if they were not obliged to keep themselves constantly guarded lest they compromise their faith, dishonor the cause of their Redeemer, and bring their own souls into bondage. {1T 490.1}

Badeanstalten i ___ har været den bedste institution i de Forenede Stater. Dets ledere har gjort et stort og godt arbejde så vidt angår behandlingen af sygdomme. Vi kan dog ikke have tillid til dets religiøse principper. Selv om de vedkender sig at være kristne, anbefaler de deres patienter spillekort, dans og teater, alt dette tenderer til ondt, eller mildest talt har dette genskin af det onde og er i direkte modsætning til Kristus og hans apostles lære. Samvittighedsfulde sabbatsholdere, som besøger disse institutioner i den tro at genvinde helbredet kan ikke få den fordel som de kunne. De er hele tiden nød til at være på vagt, medmindre de går på kompromis med deres tro og derved vanærer deres Forløsers sag og bringer deres egn sjæl i trældom.
