All who love God should do what they can to make the Sabbath a delight, holy and honorable. They cannot do this by seeking their own pleasure in sinful, forbidden amusements. Yet they can do much to exalt the Sabbath in their families and make it the most interesting day of the week. We should devote time to interesting our children. A change will have a happy influence upon them. We can walk out with them in the open air; we can sit with them in the groves and in the bright sunshine, and give their restless minds something to feed upon by conversing with them upon the works of God, and can inspire them with love and reverence by calling their attention to the beautiful objects in nature. {2T 584.2}

Da tænkte vi på dem, som ikke havde vænnet sig til afsavn og genvordigheder. Hvor var de nu? De var ikke sammen med os. Ved hver ny vanskelighed blev nogle ladt tilbage og kun de fulgte med, som havde vænnet sig til at holde ud i vanskeligheder. De strabadser, rejsen medførte, gjorde os endnu mere ivrige efter at nå til vejs ende.
