of lifes burdens, it is essential for you to practicallyapply this therapy in your life starting today.

Sickness of the mind prevails everywhere.Nine tenths of thediseases from which men suffer have their foundation here.Perhaps some living home trouble is, like a canker, eating to the very soul andweakening the life-forces. Remorse for sin sometimes undermines the constitution andunbalances the mind. There are erroneous doctrines also, as that of an eternallyburning hell and the endless torment of the wicked that, by giving exaggerated anddistorted views of the character of od, have produced the same result upon sensitiveminds ... The relation which exists between the mind and the body is veryintimate. !hen one is affected, the other sympathi"es. The condition of the mindaffects the health of the physical system.If the mind is free and happy, from a

consciousness of right doing and a sense of satisfaction in causinghappiness to others, it creates a cheerfulness that will react upon thewhole system, causing a freer circulation of the blood and a toning up ofthe entire body. The blessing of od is a healing power, and those who areabundant in benefiting others will reali"e that wondrous blessing in both heart andlife.# (Mind, Character, & Personality, Vol. 1, p. 59).

That which brings sickness of body and mind to nearly all is dissatisfied feelings anddiscontented repining# (Vol. 2, p. 475).

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he $Proverbs %&'(). *any thoughts makeup the unwritten history of a single day, and these thoughts have much to do with the

formation of character. +ur thoughts are to be strictly guarded, for one impurethought makes a deep impression on the soul. n evil thought leaves an evilimpress on the mind. f the thoughts are pure and holy, the man is better for havingcherished them. y them the spiritual pulse is /uickened and the power for doing goodis increased. And as one drop of rain prepares the way for another inmoistening the earth, so one good thought prepares the way for another ...

It is within the power of everyone to choose the topics that shall occupythe thoughts and shape the character# (p. 655).

!"ight thoughts, pure and holy purposes, do not come to us naturally. #eshall have to strive for them$(p. 656).

The natural, selfish mind, if left to follow out its own evil desires, will act without highmotives, without reference to the glory of od or the benefit of mankind. The thoughtswill be evil, and only evil, continually . . . The Spirit of %od produces a new life inthe soul, bringing the thoughts and desires into obedience to the will of 0hrist ... Theadversary of souls is not permitted to read the thoughts of men& but he is akeen observer, and he marks the words& he takes account of actions, andskillfully adapts his temptations to meet the cases of those who placethemselves in his power. If we would labor to repress sinful thoughts and


3/17

feelings, giving them no expression in words or actions, Satan would bedefeated&for he could not prepare his specious temptations to meet the case. ut howoften do professed 0hristians, by their lack of self-control, open the door to theadversary of souls1# (p. 65).

'or every class of temptations there is a remedy.!e are not left to ourselvesto fight the battle against self and our sinful natures in our own finite strength. 2esusis a mighty helper3 a never-failing support . . . The mind must be restrained andnot allowed to wander. It should be trained to dwell upon the Scripturesand upon noble, elevating themes. (ortions of Scripture, even wholechapters, may be committed to memory, to be repeated when Satan comesin with his temptations . . . #hen Satan would lead the mind to dwell uponearthly and sensual things, he is most effectually resisted with, )It iswritten. #e need a constant sense of the ennobling power of purethoughts and the damaging influence of evil thoughts. *et us place ourthoughts upon holy things.4et them be pure and true, for the only security forany soul is right thinking. !e are to use every means that od has placed within

our reach for the government and cultivation of our thoughts. !e are to bring ourminds into harmony with 5is mind.+is truth will sanctify us, body and souland spirit# (p. 659).

Through hrist you may and should be happy and should ac-uire habitsof selfcontrol.6ven your thoughts must be brought into sub7ection to the will of odand your feelings under the control of reason and religion. 8our imagination was notgiven you to be allowed to run riot and have its own way without any effort atrestraint or discipline.If the thoughts are wrong, the feelings will be wrong&and the thoughts and feelings combined make up the moral character.!hen you decide that as 0hristians you are not re/uired to restrain your thoughts and

feelings, you are brought under the influence of evil angels and invite their presenceand their control. f you yield to your impressions and allow your thoughts to run in achannel of suspicion, doubt, and repining, you will be among the most unhappy ofmortals, and your lives will prove a failure# (p. 66!).

"#e re$oice in hope, not in %eelin. 'n the hope o% the lory o% od e *no thattri+lation or*eth patience and e-perience hope. #hat does it ean/If we do not

feel /ust as we want to, are we to fly into impatience, speaking those wordsthat show that we have the attributes of Satan? #e cannot afford to speak aharsh word or an unkind word,+ecase e are standin riht in 0ie o% thehea0enly intelliences and e are %ihtin the +attle ith all the hea0enly ni0erseloo*in pon s and how we grieve the heart of God when we deny Him in

any way!he ar*s o% the crci%i-ion in the hands o% Christ sho that 3e has ra0ens pon the pals o% 3is hands (*anuscript 9:, 194)

As we are not our own, as we are bought with a price, it is the duty ofeveryone who professes to be a hristian to keep his thoughts under thecontrol of reason and oblige himself to be cheerful and happy. +oweverbitter may be the cause of his grief, he should cultivate a spirit of rest and-uietude in %od. The restfulness which is in 0hrist 2esus, the peace of 0hrist, how


4/17

precious, how healing its influence, how soothing to the oppressed soul1 5owever darkhis prospects, let him cherish a spirit to hope for good. !hile nothing is gained bydespondency, much is lost. !hile cheerfulness and a calm resignation and peace willmake others happy and healthy, it will be of the greatest benefit to oneself.Sadnessand talking of disagreeable things is encouraging the disagreeable scenes,

bringing back upon oneself the disagreeable effect. %od wants us to forgetall these0not look down but up, up1#(p. 662).

4et the soul be drawn out and upward that od may grant us a breath of theheavenly atmosphere. !e may keep so near to od that in every unexpected trial ourthoughts will turn to 5im as naturally as the flower turns to the sun#(p. 67!).

The thoughts are not to be allowed to run riot. They must be restrained,brought into captivity to the obedience of hrist. *et them be placed uponholy things. Then, through the grace of hrist, they will be pure and true.#e need a constant sense of the ennobling power of pure thoughts. Theonly security for any soul is right thinking.

2ur minds take the level of the things on which our thoughts dwell, and ifwe think upon earthly things, we shall fail to take the impress of that which isheavenly. #e would be greatly benefited by contemplating the mercy,goodness, and love of %od& but we sustain great loss by dwelling uponthose things which are earthly and temporal.

Although there may be a tainted, corrupted atmosphere around us, weneed not breathe its miasma, but may live in the pure air of heaven. #emay close every door to impure imaginings and unholy thoughts by liftingthe soul into the presence of %od through sincere prayer.Those whose heartsare open to receive the support and blessing of od will walk in a holier atmosphere

than that of earth and will have constant communionwith 5eaven# (he aith 'i0e y, p. 222).

f you would be a saint in heaven you must first be a saint on earth.The traits ofcharacter you cherish in life will not be changed by death or by theresurrection. 8ou will come up from the grave with the same disposition youmanifested in your home and in society.3esus does not change the character at

+is coming. The work of transformation must be done now.2ur daily lives aredetermining our destiny. 4efects of character must be repented of andovercome through the grace of hrist, and a symmetrical character must beformed while in this probationary state, that we may be fitted for the mansions above#

(ast 8ay 0ents, p. 295).The reason why so many are left to themselves in places of temptation is that they donot set the 4ord always before them. #hen we permit our communion with %odto be broken, our defense is departed from us. ;ot all your good purposes andgood intentions will enable you to withstand evil. 8ou must be men and women ofprayer. 8our petitions must not be faint, occasional, and fitful, but earnest,persevering, and constant. t is not always necessary to bow upon your knees in orderto pray. ultivate the habit of talking with the Saviour when you are alone,


5/17

when you are walking, and when you are busy with your daily labor. 4etthe heart be continually uplifted in silent petition for help, for light, for strength, forknowledge.*et every breath be a prayer# (Ministry o% 3ealin, p. 51!).

#hen the thought of evil is loved and cherished, however secretly, said 2esus,it shows that sin still reigns in the heart. The soul is still in the gall of bitternessand in the bond of ini/uity. 5e who finds pleasure in dwelling upon scenes of impurity,who indulges the evil thought, the lustful look, may behold in the open sin, with itsburden of shame and heart-breaking grief, the true nature of the evil which he hashidden in the chambers of the soul. The season of temptation,under which, it maybe, one falls into grievous sin, does not create the evil that is revealed, but onlydevelops or makes manifest that which was hidden and latent in the heart.s a man

of od. ultivate the habit of speaking well of others. Cwell upon the good/ualities of those with whom you associate, and see as little as possible of their errorsand failings. !hen tempted to complain of what someone has said or done, praisesomething in that person@s life or character. ultivate thankfulness.Praise od for5is wonderful love in giving 0hrist to die for us. It never pays to think of our

grievances. %od calls upon us to think of +is mercy and +is matchlesslove, that we may be inspired with praise#(Ministry o% 3ealin, p. 491).

Nothing tends more to promote health of body and of soul than does aspirit of gratitude and praise. It is a positive duty to resist melancholy,discontented thoughts and feelings0as much a duty as it is to pray. f weare heaven-bound, how can we go as a band of mourners, groaning and complainingall along the way to our Aather@s houseB ...

2ften your mind may be clouded because of pain. Then do not try to think.8ou know that 2esus loves you. 5e understands your weakness. 5ou may do +iswill by simply resting in +is arms.

It is a law of nature that our thoughts and feelings are encouraged andstrengthened as we give them utterance. #hile words express thoughts, itis also true that thoughts follow words.f we would give more expression to ourfaith, re7oice more in the blessings that we know we haveFthe great mercy and love ofodFwe should have more faith and greater 7oy.No tongue can express, no finitemind can conceive, the blessing that results from appreciating thegoodness and love of %od.6ven on earth we may have 7oy as a wellspring, neverfailing, because fed by the streams that flow from the throne of od. Then let useducate our hearts and lips to speak the praise of %od for +is matchless love...

!hen someone asks how you are feeling, do not try to think of something mournful to

tell in order to gain sympathy.4o not talk of your lack of faith and yoursorrows and sufferings. The tempter delights to hear such words. #hentalking on gloomy sub/ects, you are glorifying him. !e are not to dwell on thegreat power of >atan to overcome us.2ften we give ourselves into his hands bytalking of his power.4et us talk instead of the great power of od to bind up all ourinterests with 5is own.Tell of the matchless power of hrist, and speak of +isglory. ll heaven is interested in our salvation. The angels of od, thousands uponthousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand, are commissioned to minister tothose who shall be heirs of salvation. They guard us against evil and press back thepowers of darkness that are seeking our destruction.+ave we not reason to bethankful every moment, thankful even when there are apparent

difficulties in our pathway;$(p. 251

*any, walking along the path of life, dwell upon their mistakes and failures anddisappointments, and their hearts are filled with grief and discouragement. !hile was in 6urope, a sister who had been doing this, and who was in deep distress, wroteto me, asking for some word of encouragement. The night after had read her letter

dreamed that was in a garden, and one who seemed to be the owner of the gardenwas conducting me through its paths. was gathering the flowers and en7oying theirfragrance, when this sister, who had been walking by my side, called my attention tosome unsightly briers that were impeding her way.

ll have trials3 griefs hard to bear, temptations hard to resist.4o not tell yourtroubles to your fellow mortals, but carry everything to %od in prayer.

:ake it a rule never to utter one word of doubt or discouragement. 8ou cando much to brighten the life of others and strengthen their efforts, by words of hopeand holy cheer# (@teps to Christ, p. 116lander cannotthen sully your character one particle. No one can degrade our character butourselves, by our own course of action. . . .

The mind must be kept meditating upon pure and holy sub/ects. Animpure suggestion must be dismissed at once, and pure, elevating thoughts,holy contemplation, be entertained, thus obtaining more and more knowledge of%od, by training the mind in the contemplation of heavenly things. od hassimple means open to every individual case, sufficient to secure the great end, thesalvation of the soul#('n 3ea0enly Places, p. 197).

#hen it is in the heart to obey %od, when efforts are put forth to this end,3esus accepts this disposition and effort as man9s best service and +emakes up for the deficiency with +is own divine merit& for +e is the sourceof every right impulse.Through the merits of the Redeemer, the Aather looks uponus with tender compassion, and speaks to us hopefully the language of forgiveness andlove, for hrist was treated as we deserve that we might be treated as +edeserves. 5e was condemned for our sins in which he had no share, that we might be7ustified by 5is righteousness in which we had no share...

%od does not re-uire us to give up any thing that it is for our bestinterest to retain.n all that 5e does, 5e has the well being of 5is children in view.!ould that all who have not chosen 0hrist might reali"e that+e has somethingvastly better to offer them than they are seeking for themselves1 Aor themore we know %od, the more intense will be our happiness # (he Griental#atchan, 8ec. 1, 19!9).

6e cheerful, and praise the *ord for +is lovingkindness. That which youcannot understand, commit to 5im. 5e loves you, and pities your every weakness...

ut though 2esus sees the guilt of the past, 5e speaks pardon3 and we should notdishonor +im by doubting +is love. The feeling of guiltiness must be laid at thefoot of the cross, or it will poison the springs of life. #hen Satan thrusts histhreatenings upon you, turn from them, and comfort your soul with the

promises of %od.The cloud may be dark in itself, but when filled with the light ofheaven, it turns to the brightness of gold3 for the glory of od rests upon it. %od9schildren are not to be sub/ect to feelings and emotions.!hen they fluctuatebetween hope and fear, the heart of 0hrist is hurt3 for 5e has given them unmistakableevidence of 5is love#(Messaes to Bon People, p. 1!9).

Those who really trust in %od will find the rest he has promised, will find+is yoke easy and +is burden light... The *ord is a mighty helper. If wetrust in +im, we shall have rest and peace. The language of the soul shouldbe that of /oy and gratitude. If we have dark chapters in our experience,let us not keep their memory fresh by repetition. Aorgetting the things that arebehind, let us press forward to the things that are before. ultivate only thosethoughts and feelings which produce gratitude and praise.If you havebeen wronged, forget it, and think only of the great mercy, the lovingkindness, the inexpressible love of 3esus. *earn to praise rather than tocensure.f you meet with insult and abuse, do not become discouraged, for 2esus metthe same. o forward, doing your work with fidelity. Store the mind with the

precious promises of %od9s word, and hold sweet communion with him byfre-uently repeating them. ease fretting, cease murmuring, cease findingfault, and make melody to %od in your hearts...

I entreat you never to utter one word of complaint.!eave into the warp andwoof of your experience the golden threads of gratitude. ontemplate the betterland, where tears are never shed, where temptations and trials are neverexperienced, where losses and reproaches are never known, where all is

peace, and /oy, and happiness. +ere your imagination may have fullscope. These thoughts will make you more spiritually minded, will imbueyou with heavenly vigor, will satisfy your thirsty soul with living water,and will impress upon your heart the seal of the divine image. 8ou will be

filled with hope and 7oy in believing, and the 0omforter will abide with you forever#(@ins o% the ies, @ept. 27, 1F).

#e are forming characters for heaven. No character can be completewithout trial and suffering.!e must be tested, we must be tried. 0hrist bore thetest of character of our behalf that we might bear this test in our own behalf throughthe divine strength 5e has brought to us. 0hrist is our example in patience, inforbearance, in meekness and lowliness of mind. 5e was at variance and at war with

the whole ungodly world, yet 5e did not give way to passion and violence manifestedin words and actions, although receiving shameful abuse in return for good works. 5ewas afflicted, 5e was re7ected and despitefully treated, yet 5e retaliated not. 5epossessed self-control, dignity, and ma7esty. 5e suffered with calmness and for abusegave only compassion, pity, and love. . .

mitate your Redeemer in these things. 4o not get excited when things gowrong. 4o not let self arise, and lose your selfcontrol because you fancythings are not as they should be.ecause others are wrong is no excuse for you todo wrong. Two wrongs will not make one right. 8ou have victories to gain in order toovercome as 0hrist overcame.

hrist never murmured, never uttered discontent, displeasure, orresentment. +e was never disheartened, discouraged, ruffled, or fretted.

+e was patient, calm, and selfpossessed under the most exciting andtrying circumstances.ll 5is works were performed with a /uiet dignity and ease,whatever commotion was around 5im. pplause did not elate 5im. 5e feared not the

threats of 5is enemies.+e moved amid the world of excitement, of violenceand crime, as the sun moves above the clouds. +uman passions andcommotions and trials were beneath +im. +e sailed like the sun abovethem all. 8et 5e was not indifferent to the woes of men. 5is heart was ever touchedwith the sufferings and necessities of 5is brethren, as though 5e 5imself was the oneafflicted.+e had a calm inward /oy, a peace which was serene. 5is will wasever swallowed up in the will of 5is Aather. ;ot *y will but Thine be done, was heardfrom 5is pale and /uivering lips#(This Cay with od, Ch. 255).

!#hen the mind dwells upon self, it is turned away from hrist, the source
