Chapter 3—Unbalanced Minds - God has committed to each of us sacred trusts, for which He holds us accountable. It is His purpose that we so educate the mind as to be able to exercise the talents He has given us in such a manner as to accomplish the greatest good and reflect the glory to the Giver. We are indebted to God for all the qualities of the mind. These powers can be cultivated, and so discreetly directed and controlled as to accomplish the purpose for which they were given. It is duty to so educate the mind as to bring out the energies of the soul and develop every faculty. When all the faculties are in exercise, the intellect will be strengthened, and the purpose for which they were given will be accomplished. {3T 32.1}

[Gud har betroet enhver af os hellige hverv, som han holder os ansvarlige for. Det er hans hensigt, at vi således skal oplære sindet, at vi bliver i stand til at gøre brug af de talenter, han har givet os, på en sådan måde, at vi kan udrette mest muligt godt og tjene den guddommelige giver til ære. Vi skylder Gud alle sindets kræfter. Disse kræfter kan kultiveres og på en så forstandig måde ledes og beherskes, at hensigten med, at de blev givet, opnås. Det er en pligt :således at oplære sindet, at sjælens kræfter kommer til udtryk og enhver evne udvikles. Når alle evner holdes i virksomhed, vil forstanden styrkes og den hensigt, i hvilken de blev givet, vil opnås.
