Medical Ministry
The members of every church are to cultivate the tact and inge-
nuity that God will give them. The Lord has skill and understanding
for all who will use their ability in striving to learn how to combine
the productions of the earth so as to make simple, easily prepared,
healthful foods, which will take the place of flesh-meat, so that the
people will have no excuse for eating flesh-meat.—
Manuscript 78,

Manuscript 27, 1905.
Instruction in the Art of Cooking

secure land in the country, where they can raise their own fruit and
vegetables.—
Manuscript 150, 1905.

foods from the natural products of their section of their country. No
man is to forbid them. If they look to God, exercising their skill and
ingenuity under the guidance of His Spirit, they will learn how to
prepare natural products into healthful foods. Thus they will be able
to teach the poor how to prepare foods that will take the place of
flesh-meat.
Those thus helped can in turn instruct others. Such a work will
yet be done. If it had been done before, there would today be many
more people in the truth than there are, and we should have had
many more who could give instruction than we have. Let us learn
