During a portion of the day, all should have an opportunity to be out of doors. How can children receive a more correct knowledge of God, and their minds be better impressed, than in spending a portion of their time out of doors, not in play, but in company with their parents? Let their young minds be associated with God in the beautiful scenery of nature, let their attention be called to the tokens of His love to man in His created works, and they will be attracted and interested. They will not be in danger of associating the character of God with everything that is stern and severe; but as they view the beautiful things which He has created for the happiness of man, they will be led to regard Him as a tender, loving Father. They will see that His prohibitions and injunctions are not made merely to show His power and authority, but that He has the happiness of His children in view. As the character of God puts on the aspect of love, benevolence, beauty, and attraction, they are drawn to love Him. You can direct their minds to the lovely birds making the air musical with their happy songs, to the spires of grass, and the gloriously tinted flowers in their perfection perfuming the air. All these proclaim the love and skill of the heavenly Artist, and show forth the glory of God. {2T 583.2}

En slående drøm

Idet vi fortsatte, blev stien stadig smallere. Vi var nød til at holde os ganske tæt til væggen for ikke at styrte ned i afgrunden. Når vi gjorde det, kom bagagen i vejen og vi blev tvunget ud mod dybet. Vi blev bange for at falde og blive knust mod klipperne dernede. Derfor løsnede vi vor bagage og lod den falde ned i afgrunden. Vi fortsatte på hesteryg. Når vi kom til (595) smalle steder på stien, var vi alvorligt bange for at miste balancen og falde. Men så var det, som om en usynlig hånd tog tøjlerne og førte os forbi de farlige punkter.
