  The Secret of Success

健康勉言-第111章

  疗养院的成功有赖于保持敬虔的纯朴，避免世人在饮食、服装和娱乐上的罪恶行为。疗养院的一切原则都必须改革。不要发明任何东西去满足心灵的需要，却占据基督和祂的服务所要求的空间和时间；因为这会摧毁疗养院的能力。这个机构本是上帝的一个工具，要使患罪病的可怜人悔改归正。他们不知道生命和平安的道路，竟在骄傲和空虚放荡中寻找幸福。{CH255.1}[1]

健康勉言-第111章

  The success of the sanitarium depends upon its maintaining the simplicity of godliness and shunning the world’s follies in eating, drinking, dressing, and amusements. It must be reformatory in all its principles. Let nothing be invented to satisfy the wants of the soul and take the room and time which Christ and His service demand, for this will destroy the power of the institution as God’s instrumentality to convert poor, sin-sick souls, who, ignorant of the way of life and peace, have sought for happiness in pride and vain folly.{CH 255.1}[1]

健康勉言-第111章

  “立定志向”（布立斯《效法但以理》）应成为凡在疗养院工作之人的立场。虽然谁也不该敦促病人接受我们的信仰或与他们进行宗教论战，但应精心选择我们的书刊，使之到处可见。宗教必须作主导的力量。这一直是而且将永远是疗养院的力量。不要败坏我们的健康机构去侍奉世俗和时尚。我们的国家已经有足够多的卫生机构更象住宿的旅馆，而不能使病人和受苦的人身体的疾病得到医治，患罪病的心灵在耶稣里得到在其它任何地方得不到的平安和安息。要强调宗教的原则并且保持下去；要丢弃骄傲和得名望的心；要让朴素和坦率，仁慈和忠信到处可见；这样，疗养院就会成为上帝所希望的样子，主才会喜爱它。——《教会证言》卷四第586,587页(1881年).{CH255.2}[2]

健康勉言-第111章

  “Standing by a purpose true” should be the position of all connected with the sanitarium. While none should urge our faith upon the patients or engage in religious controversy with them, our papers and publications, carefully selected, should be in sight almost everywhere. The religious element must predominate. This has been and ever will be the power of that institution. Let not our health asylum be perverted to the service of worldliness and fashion. There are hygienic institutions enough in our land that are more like an accommodating hotel than a place where the sick and suffering can obtain relief for their bodily infirmities, and the sin-sick soul can find that peace and rest in Jesus to be found nowhere else. Let religious principles be made prominent and kept so; let pride and popularity be discarded; let simplicity and plainness, kindness and faithfulness, be seen everywhere; then the sanitarium will be just what God intended it should be; then the Lord will favor it.—Testimonies for the Church 4:586, 587 (1881).{CH 255.2}[2]
