Chapter 9—Health Reform
Light Given
109. The Lord has given his people a message in regard to health
reform. This light has been shining upon their pathway for thirty
years, and the Lord cannot sustain his servants in a course which will
counteract it.... Can he be pleased when half the workers laboring in a
place teach that the principles of health reform are as closely allied to
the third angel’s message as the arm is to the body, to have their co-
workers, by their practise, teach principles that are entirely opposite?
... The light which God has given upon health reform cannot be trifled
with without injury to those who attempt it; and no man can hope to
succeed in the work of God while, by precept and example, he acts in
opposition to the light which God has sent.—

110. No man, woman, or child who fails to use all the powers God
has given him can retain his health. He cannot conscientiously keep
the commandments of God. He cannot love God supremely and his
neighbor as himself.—

111. We begin to comprehend better the light given years ago,—
that health reform principles would be as an entering wedge to be
followed by a religious influence.—

112. Your interest and effort are to be given, not to the health ques-
tion alone, but to making known the truths for these last times, truths
that are deciding the destiny of souls.—
