Keep Health Reform to the Front
461
Keep the work of health reform to the front is the message I am
instructed to bear. Show so plainly its value that a widespread need for
it will be felt. Abstinence from all hurtful food and drink is the fruit
of true religion. He who is thoroughly converted will abandon every
injurious habit and appetite. By total abstinence he will overcome his
desire for health-destroying indulgences.
Go Forward
I am instructed to say to health-reform educators, Go forward. The
world needs every jot of the influence you can exert to press back the
tide of moral woe. Let those who teach the third angel’s message stand
true to their colors. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable
unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to
this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that
ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of
God.”
Romans 12:1, 2
. May the Lord arm those who labor in word
and doctrine, with the clearest messages of truth. If His workers will
give these messages with simplicity, assurance, and all authority, the
Lord will work with them.
