Brother C has been occupying an unworthy position in standing as a prop for B. He has been mind for him, and has stood by to sustain and back him up. These two men are fanatics on the subject of health reform. Brother C knows much less than he thinks he does. He is deceived in himself. He is selfish and bigoted in carrying out his views; he is not teachable. He has not had a subdued will. He is not a man of humble mind. Such a man has no business to be a physician. He may have gained some little knowledge by reading, but this is not enough. Experience is necessary. Our people are too few to be sacrificed so cheaply and ingloriously as to submit to being experimented upon by such men. Altogether too many precious ones would fall a sacrifice to their rigid views and notions before they would give up, confess their errors, and learn wisdom by experience. {2T 385.2}

Du har ikke taget hensyn til det lys som Herren så nådigt har givet dig om helsereformen. Du har følt at du ville sætte dig op imod det. Du har ikke set betydningen af det, ikke set nogen grund til at tage imod det. Du har ikke næret en villighed til at modstå din appetit. Du kunne ikke se Guds visdom i det givne lys med hensyn til at begrænse appetitten. Alt hvad du kunne se var besværet med at fornægte smagssansen. [Herren har ladet sit lys skinne over os i disse sidste dage for at det mørke som har samlet sig fra tidligere generationer på grund af syndige nydelser, i nogen grad kunne blive fjernet og at de onde følger af mangel på mådehold i mad og drikke kunne blive mindsket.
