The Original Plan
      
      
        It was not God’s purpose that His people should be crowded into
      
      
        cities, huddled together in terraces and tenements. In the beginning
      
      
        He placed our first parents in a garden, amidst the beautiful sights and
      
      
        attractive sounds of nature, and these sights and sounds He desires
      
      
        men to rejoice in today. The more nearly we come into harmony with
      
      
        God’s original plan, the more favorable will be our position for the
      
      
        recovery and the preservation of health.—
