Mental and Physical Health
'Diligent study is essential, and diligent hard work.... A well-balanced mind is not usually obtained in the devotion of the physical powers to amusements. Physical labor that is combined with mental taxation for usefulness is a discipline in practical life, sweetened always by the reflection that it is qualifying and educating the mind and body better to perform the work God designs us to do...The mind thus educated to enjoy physical taxation in practical life becomes enlarged and, through culture and training, becomes disciplined and richly furnished for usefulness, and acquires a knowledge essential to be a help and blessing to themselves and to others.โFundamentals of Christian Education, 226-229
