Clear Minds
You need clear, energetic minds, in order to appreciate the ex-
alted character of the truth, to value the atonement, and to place the
right estimate upon eternal things. If you pursue a wrong course and
indulge in wrong habits of eating, and thereby weaken the intellec-
tual powers, you will not place that high estimate upon salvation and
eternal life which will inspire you to conform your life to the life of
Christ; you will not make those earnest, self-sacrificing efforts for
entire conformity to the will of God which His word requires and
which are necessary to give you a moral fitness for the finishing touch
of immortality.—
