A Firm Stand-an Appeal to a Popular Evangelist—It has been clearly presented to me that God’s people are to take a firm stand against meat eating. Would God for thirty years give His people the message that if they desire to have pure blood and clear minds, they must give up the use of flesh meat, if He did not want them to heed this message? By the use of flesh meat the animal nature is strengthened and the spiritual nature weakened. Such men as you, who are engaged in the most solemn and important work ever entrusted to human beings, need to give special heed to what they eat. {Ev 663.2}

Et ståsted – en appel til en populær evangelist. – Det er blevet vist klart for mig at Guds folk skal tage fast standpunkt imod kødspiser. Havde Gud givet Sit folk budskabet for tredive år siden, hvis de ønskede at få rent blod og klare sind, må de opgive at bruge kødmad, hvis Han ikke ønsker at de skal give agt på dette budskab? Ved at bruge kødmad styrkes den dyriske natur og den åndelige natur svækkes. Mennesker som jer, som er involveret i det højtideligste og vigtigste arbejde der nogen sinde er betroet mennesker, behøver at være særlig opmærksom på hvad de spiser.
