in doing as they do, but we should not allow differences of opinion
to create disunion. May the Lord help us to be as firm as a rock to
the principles of the law spoken from Sinai, and may He help us not
to allow differences of opinion to be a barrier between us and our
brethren.—
Letter 331, 1904

Teaching Extreme Views
It is the desire and plan of Satan to bring in among us those who
will go to great extremes—people of narrow minds, who are critical
and sharp, and very tenacious in holding their own conceptions
of what the truth means. They will be exacting, and will seek to
enforce rigorous duties, and go to great lengths in matters of minor
importance, while they neglect the weightier matters of the law—
judgment and mercy and the love of God. Through the work of a
few of this class of persons, the whole body of Sabbath keepers will
be designated as bigoted, pharisaical, and fanatical. The work of the
truth, because of these workers, will be thought to be unworthy of
notice.—

Good Cooking a Science
Some are called to what are looked upon as humble duties—it
may be to cook. But the science of cooking is not a small matter. The
skillful preparation of food is one of the most essential arts, standing
[270]
above music teaching or dressmaking. By this I do not mean to
discount music teaching or dressmaking, for they are essential. But
more important still is the art of preparing food so that it is both
healthful and appetizing. This art should be regarded as the most
valuable of all the arts, because it is so closely connected with life.
It should receive more attention; for in order to make good blood,
the system requires good food. The foundation of that which keeps
people in health is the medical missionary work of good cooking.
Often health reform is made health deform by the unpalatable
preparation of food. The lack of knowledge regarding healthful
cookery must be remedied before health reform is a success.
