The truths of the Bible, received, will uplift mind and soul. If the word of God were appreciated as it should be, both young and old would possess an inward rectitude, a strength of principle, that would enable them to resist temptation.

Appreciating and receiving Bible truths provides moral strength and resistance against temptation. It addresses spiritual uplifting and moral fortitude rather than physical or clinical phenomena.

Let men teach and write the precious things of the Holy Scriptures. Let the thought, the aptitude, the keen exercise of brain power, be given to the study of the thoughts of God. Study not the philosophy of man's conjectures, but study the philosophy of Him who is truth. No other literature can compare with this in value.

Scripture study provides supreme intellectual value compared to human philosophy. It offers a value judgment on sacred literature versus human philosophy.
