Mental Hygiene

God are the utterances of the Most High. He who makes these truths a
part of his life becomes in every sense a new creature. He is not given
new mental powers, but the darkness that through ignorance and sin
has clouded the understanding is removed. The words, “A new heart
also will I give you,” mean, “A new mind will I give you.” A change
of heart is always attended by a clear conviction of Christian duty, an
understanding of truth. He who gives the Scriptures close, prayerful
attention will gain clear comprehension and sound judgment, as if in
turning to God he had reached a higher plane of intelligence.—
