Counsels on Diet and Foods, 1938
In early 1926 Dr. H. M. Walton, then teaching in the field of
nutrition at the College of Medical Evangelists, assembled Ellen G.
White materials from published and unpublished sources relating to
the subject of diet and foods. This material, prepared in collaboration
with the White Trustees, was printed at Loma Linda for classroom
use in a two-column, paperbound, 200-page work entitled
Testimony
Studies on Diet and Foods
. The materials were topically arranged for
[xi]
ready reference. Eventually the value of a wider circulation of this
material among Seventh-day Adventists was discerned. The White
Trustees took these materials, dropped out certain items which were
repetitious, and supplemented it with new materials from unpub-
lished sources. They also added some sections, and brought out what
has proved to be a most popular volume, the 500-page
Counsels
on Diet and Foods
. Its counsels, topically arranged and carefully
indexed, make the combined spirit of prophecy statements on diet
readily available for study.
Temperance, 1949
The 300-page volume fittingly entitled
Temperance
sets before
the church the full range of counsels drawn from all sources, pub-
lished and unpublished, bearing on that topic. Three Ellen G. White
temperance addresses appear as an appendix. This volume has
become a handbook to temperance workers.
Welfare Ministry, 1952
The welfare work of the Seventh-day Adventist Church combines
the health work with neighborly deeds of Christian service. In its
350 pages,
Welfare Ministry
Provides Ellen G. White’s counsels on
these important phases of ministry. Mrs. White’s experiences as a
welfare worker climax this volume. This, too, is a handbook in its
field.
These five currently available volumes, together with portions of
, present the full range of Ellen G. White counsels on the subject of
health and the conduct of our health work.
