"In teaching health principles, keep before the mind the great object of reform-that its purpose is to secure the highest development of body and mind and soul. Show that the laws of nature, being the laws of God, are designed for our good; that obedience to them promotes happiness in this life, and aids in the preparation for the life to come." (Ministry of Healing, page 146)
