It is a great responsibility to take the life of a human being in hand. And to have that precious life sacrificed through mismanagement is dreadful. The case of Brother D’s family is terrible. These men may excuse their course; but that will not save the cause of God from reproach, nor bring back that son who suffered and died for the want of food. A little good wine and food would have brought him up from a bed of death and given him back to his family. The father also would soon have been numbered with the dead if the same course had been continued which had been pursued toward the son, but the presence and timely counsel of a doctor from the Health Institute saved him. {2T 386.2}

Regelmæssige måltider er meget vigtigt for legemets sundhed og sindets klarhed. Jeres børn bør kun spise på de faste spisetider. De bør ikke have lov til at komme bort fra denne fastsatte regel. Også selvom du, søster E, er borte fra dit hjem og ikke kan styre disse betydningsfulde ting. Din ældste søn har allerede afkræftet hele sin organisme og lagt grunden for en varig sygdom. Dit andet barn følger lige i hans spor og ikke et af dine børn er sikret mod dette onde.
