Read Ellen G. White, "Not Judging, but Doing," pp. 123–152, in Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing; "Growing Up Into Christ," pp. 67–75, in Steps to Christ; "General Hygiene," pp. 151–154, in The Ministry of Health and Healing.

"God calls upon His people to arise and come out of the chilling, frosty atmosphere in which they have been living, to shake off the impressions and ideas that have frozen up the impulses of love and held them in selfish inactivity. He bids them come up from their low, earthly level and breathe in the clear, sunny atmosphere of heaven."—Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 607.

"Those with whom Christ dwells will be surrounded with a divine atmosphere. Their white robes of purity will be fragrant with perfume from the garden of the Lord."—Ellen G. White, Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, p. 135.

"Although there may be a tainted, corrupted atmosphere around us, we need not breathe its miasma, but may live in the pure air of heaven. We may close every door to impure imaginings and unholy thoughts by lifting the soul into the presence of God through sincere prayer. Those whose hearts are open to receive the support and blessing of God will walk in a holier atmosphere than that of earth and will have constant communion with heaven."—Ellen G. White, Steps to Christ, p. 99.

What is the general quality of the air where you live? If you live in the country, it is probably very good, and you can breath plenty of it. If in the city, what challenges do you face?

The question of air pollution is a serious one. What can you do as an individual, even on a very small scale, that could help with this problem? What are our obligations as a church to try to help alleviate this problem?

"In fellowship with God, with Christ, and with holy angels, they are surrounded with a heavenly atmosphere, an atmosphere that brings health to the body, vigor to the intellect, and joy to the soul."—Ellen G. White, Gospel Workers, p. 513. How can the class assist each other in realizing this goal?

Do you know people who have been suffering some sort of health problems due to poor air quality? If so, how could you help? Why not help them spend some time in a place where the air is pure and fresh?

Bring a health professional to class who could explain in more detail the benefits of fresh air.
