Colporteur Ministry
The Lord calls for workers to enter the canvassing field. He desires
the books upon health reform to be circulated. Much depends upon
the question of health reform.—
Manuscript 174, 1899

Let young men and young women take our books on healthful
living, and go out among the people, doing their utmost to advance the
work of health reform. There are many in the world who are anxious
to know more in regard to these principles.—
Letter 154a, 1900

Great Need for This Light—The people are in sad need of the
light shining from the pages of our health and temperance journals.
God desires to use these journals as mediums through which flashes
of light shall arrest the attention of the people, and cause them to heed
the warning of the message of the third angel....
Ministers can and should do much to urge the circulation of the
health journals. Every member of the church should work as earnestly
for these journals as for our other periodicals. There should be no
friction between the two....
The circulation of the health journals will be a powerful agency in
preparing the people to accept those special truths that are to fit them
for the soon coming of the Son of man.—

A Permanent Part of Our Literature—Health reform will reach
a class and has reached a class that otherwise would never have been
reached by the truth. There is a great necessity for labor being put forth
to help the people, believers and unbelievers, at the present time by
health talks, and health publications. I cannot see why the health books
should not have a permanent place as well as the other publications
notwithstanding human prejudices to the contrary.—
