At the time of Christ’s first advent the race had already so degenerated that not only the old but the middle-aged and the young were brought from every city to the Saviour to be healed of their diseases.—Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 7, 8, 1890. (Counsels on Diet and Foods, 117, 118.) {1MCP 143.3}

Ved tiden for Kristi første komme var slægten allerede blevet så degenereret at ikke kun gamle men også midaldrende, og unge blev bragt fra enhver by til Frelseren, for at blive helbredt for deres sygdomme. - CTBH 7, 8, 1890. (CD 117, 118.)
