Counsels on Health
On such occasions parents and children should feel free from
care, labor, and perplexity. Parents should become children with their
children, making everything as pleasant for them as possible. Let
the whole day be given to recreation. Exercise in the open air, for
those whose employment has been within doors and sedentary, will be
beneficial to health. All who can should feel it a duty to pursue this
course. Nothing will be lost, but much gained. They can return to their
occupations with new life and new courage to engage in their labor
with zeal, and they are better prepared to resist disease.
