"God designs that the Sabbath shall direct the minds of men to the contemplation of His created works. ....The beauty that clothes the earth is a token of God's love. We may behold it in the everlasting hills in the lofty trees, in the opening buds and the delicate flowers. All speak to us of God. The Sabbath, ever pointing to Him who made them all, bids men open the great book of nature and trace therein the wisdom, the power, and the love of the Creator. Patriarchs and Prophets, p.49
