Section 9—Reading and Music
[270]
Young men and young women, read the literature that will give you
true knowledge, and that will be a help to the entire family. Say firmly:
“I will not spend precious moments in reading that which will be of no
profit to me, and which only unfits me to be of service to others. I will
devote my time and my thoughts to acquiring a fitness for God’s
service. I will close my eyes to frivolous and sinful things. My ears
are the Lord’s, and I will not listen to the subtle reasoning of the
enemy. My voice shall not in any way be subject to a will that is not
under the influence of the Spirit of God. My body is the temple of the
Holy Spirit, and every power of my being shall be consecrated to
worthy pursuits.”—
