I saw that our heavenly Father has bestowed upon us the great blessing of light upon the health reform that we may obey the claims which He has upon us and glorify Him in our bodies and spirits which are His and finally stand without fault before the throne of God. Our faith requires us to elevate the standard and take advance steps. While many question the course pursued by other health reformers, they as reasonable men should do something themselves. Our race is in a deplorable condition, suffering from disease of every description. Many have inherited disease and are great sufferers because of the wrong habits of their parents, and yet they pursue the same wrong course in regard to themselves and their children which was pursued toward them. They are ignorant in regard to themselves. They are sick and do not know that their own wrong habits are causing them immense suffering. {1T 488.1}

Jeg så at vor himmelske Fader har givet os den store oplysende velsignelse over sundhedsreformen, så vi kan adlyde hvad han kræver og forherlige ham i vore legemer og ånd, som er hans og til sidst stå fejlfri foran Guds trone. Vor tro kræver at vi skal højne standarden og gøre fremskridt. Selvom mange drager andre sundhedsreformatorers metoder i tvivl, bør de, som fornuftige mennesker, gøre noget selv. Vor slægt er i en elendig tilstand, den lider af sygdomme på enhver måde. Mange har arvet sygdomme og lider stærkt på grund af deres forældres forkerte vaner og alligevel lever de selv på den samme forkerte måde og deres børn fører dette videre. De er ligeglade med sig selv. De er syge og ved ikke at deres egne forkerte levevaner bringer dem umådelig stor lidelse.
