An Important Place in Our Salvation
—Those who are not
health reformers treat themselves unfairly and unwisely. By the
indulgence of appetite they do themselves fearful injury. Some may
think that the question of diet is not important enough to be included
in the question of religion. But such make a great mistake. God’s
word declares, “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever
ye do, do all to the glory of God.” The subject of temperance, in
[163]
all its bearings, has an important place in the working out of our
salvation.—

If men and women perseveringly live in accordance with the
laws of life and of health, they will realize the blessed results of an
entire health reform.—

All Are Being Proved
—It is of great importance that individu-
ally we act well our part, and have an intelligent understanding of
what we should eat and drink, and how we should live to preserve
health. All are being proved to see whether they will accept the
principles of health reform or follow a course of self-indulgence.—
