Elohim endowed man with so great VITAL FORCE that
he has withstood the accumulation of disease brought upon the race in
consequence of perverted habits, and has continued for SIX THOUSAND YEARS. This
fact of itself is enough to evidence to us the STRENGTH and ELECTRICAL
ENERGY that Elohim gave to man at his creation. It took more than TWO
THOUSAND YEARS of crime and indulgence of base passions to bring bodily disease
upon the race to any great extent. If Adam, at his creation, had not been
endowed with TWENTY TIMES as much VITAL FORCE as men now have, the race, with
their present habits of living in violation of NATURAL LAW, would have become
extinct.
...Man came from the hand of his Creator, perfect and
beautiful in form, and so filled with VITAL FORCE that it was more than a
THOUSAND YEARS before his corrupt appetites and passions, and general violations
of PHYSICAL LAW, were sensibly felt upon the race. ... The VITAL FORCES have
been greatly weakened by the indulgence of appetite and lustful passion.
Testimonies for the Church Vol. 3, p. 138, 139

Elohim, the great Architect, has built these lofty
mountains, and their influence upon climate is a blessing to our world. They
draw from the clouds enriching moisture. Mountain chains are Elohim's great
reservoirs, to supply the ocean with its water. These are the sources of the
springs, rills, and brooks, as well as the rivers. They receive, in the form of
RAIN and SNOW, the VAPORS with which the ATMOSPHERE is CHARGED,
and communicate them to the parched plains below.
We should look upon the IRREGULAR MOUNTAINS of the
earth as Elohim'S FOUNTAINS OF BLESSINGS from which flow forth the waters to
supply all the living creatures. Every time I look upon the mountains I feel
gratitude to Elohim....
Everything about us teaches us from day to day lessons
of our Father's love and of His power, and of His Laws that govern nature and
that lie at the foundation of all government in heaven and in earth. Our High
Calling, p.253
