The stomach, when we lie down to rest, should have its work done, that it may enjoy rest, as well as other portions of the body. The work of digestion should not be carried on through any period of the sleeping hours.

A kind, courteous Christian is the most powerful argument in favor of the gospel that can be produced.

Don't you quote Sister White. I don't want you ever to quote Sister White until you get your vantage ground where you know where you are. Quote the Bible. Talk the Bible. It is full of meat, full of fatness. Carry it right out in your life, and you will know more Bible than you know now.

Water is the best liquid possible to cleanse the tissues.... Drink some, a little time before or after a meal.

Our clothing, while modest and simple, should be of good quality . . . It should be chosen for durability rather than display.

Gather every promise. This is Jesus, the life of every grace, the life of every promise, the life of every ordinance, the life of every blessing.

Exercise will aid in the work of digestion. Take a walk after a meal but no violent exercise after a full meal.
