The chief if not the only reason why many become invalids is that the blood does not circulate freely, and the changes in the vital fluid, which are necessary to life and health, do not take place. They have not given their bodies exercise nor their lungs food, which is pure, fresh air; therefore it is impossible for the blood to be vitalized, and it pursues its course sluggishly through the system. The more we exercise, the better will be the circulation of the blood. More people die for want of exercise than through overfatigue; very many more rust out than wear out. Those who accustom themselves to proper exercise in the open air will generally have a good and vigorous circulation. We are more dependent upon the air we breathe than upon the food we eat. Men and women, young and old, who desire health, and who would enjoy active life, should remember that they cannot have these without a good circulation. Whatever their business and inclinations, they should make up their minds to exercise in the open air as much as they can. They should feel it a religious duty to overcome the conditions of health which have kept them confined indoors, deprived of exercise in the open air. {2T 525.2}

Jeg fik vist at prædikanter må helliges og have kendskab til Guds ord. De burde være fortrolig med bibelargumenter og beredte til at give en begrundelse for deres håb, eller de skulle ophøre med deres arbejde og tage et kald op hvor ufuldkommenhed ikke vil medføre så store konsekvenser. Prædikanter for dagens populære læresætninger er velkomne prædikanter hvis de kan tale over nogle få simple bibelpunkter; men prædikanter som spreder upopulære sandheder for disse sidste dage, som møder lærte mænd, stærke personligheder og modstandere af enhver slags, burde kende sig selv. De burde ikke påtage sig ansvar for at lære sandheden hvis de ikke er egnede for arbejdet. Får de gør ind i det, eller helliger sig selv til det, bør de studere bibelen. Hvis de ikke har en uddannelse så at de kan tale offentligt med godkendelse og gøre sandheden retfærd og ære Herren hvem de bekender sig til at tjene, bude de vente indtil de er egnede for opgaven.
