        Sabbath Hikes In order to keep the Sabbath holy, it is not necessary that we enclose 
          ourselves in walls, shut away from the beautiful scenes of nature and 
          from the free, invigorating air of heaven....During a portion of the 
          day, all should have an opportunity to be out of doors. (Ellen G. White, 
          Testimonies 
          for the Church, Volume 2, Chapter 71 - How Shall We Keep the Sabbath?, 
          page 583) Recommended Sabbath Hikes (Los Angeles area) We are not to teach our children that they must not be happy on the 
          Sabbath, that it is wrong to walk out-of-doors. Oh, no. Christ led His 
          disciples out by the lakeside on the Sabbath day and taught them. His 
          sermons on the Sabbath were not always preached within enclosed walls. 
          (Ellen G. White, Child 
          Guidance, Chapter 79 - Sabbath -- The Day of Delight, pages 533, 534)
