The matter of presenting true principles of health and temperance must not be passed over as unessential; for nearly every family needs to be instructed on this point. Nearly every person needs to have his conscience aroused to become a doer of the Word of God, practicing self-denial, and abstaining from the unlawful indulgence of appetite. When you make the people intelligent concerning the principles of health reform you do much to prepare the way for the introduction of present truth. Said my Guide, “Educate, educate, educate.” The mind must be enlightened, for the understanding of the people is darkened. Satan can find access to the soul through perverted appetite, to debase and destroy it.—Letter 1, 1875. {Ev 515.1}

At bringe de sande principper om helse og mådehold må ikke overgås som uvæsentlige, for næsten alle familier har behov for undervisning på dette punkt. Næsten alle personer behøver at få vækket sin samvittighed, og blive en Guds Ords gører, praktisere selvfornægtelse, og afstå fra at uretsmæssigt føje appetitten. Når du giver folk forstand om helsereformens grundprincipper, bereder du vejen ganske godt for at introducere den nærværende sandhed. Min vejleder sagde: "Undervis, undervis, undervis," Sindet må oplyses, for folks forståelse er formørket. Satan kan finde adgang til sjælen, gennem en forvansket appetit, der fornedrer og ødelægger den. - brev 1, 1875.
