Chapter 6—Flesh Meats and Stimulants Dear Brother and Sister H, I recollected your countenances as being among several that I had seen who need a work accomplished for them before they can be sanctified through the truth. You embraced the truth because you saw it to be truth, but it has not yet taken hold of you. You have not realized its sanctifying influence upon the life. The light has been shining upon your pathway in regard to health reform and the duty resting upon God’s people in these last days to exercise temperance in all things. You, I saw, were among the number who would be backward to see the light and correct your manner of eating, drinking, and working. As the light of truth is received and followed out, it will work an entire reformation in the life and character of all those who are sanctified through it. {2T 60.2}

[Kære broder og søster H! Jeg husker jeres ansigter blandt flere, som jeg har set, der behøver at udføres et værk for, før de kan blive helligede i sandheden. I sluttede jer til sandheden, fordi I så, at det var sandhed, men den har ikke grebet jer. I har ikke erfaret dens helliggørende indflydelse i jeres liv. Lyset angående helsereformen og angående den forpligtelse, der påhviler Guds folk i disse sidste dage til at øve afholdenhed i alle ting, har skinnet på jeres sti. Jeg så, at I var blandt dem, der ville stå tilbage med hensyn til at se lyset og rette på jeres vaner i spise, drikke og arbejde. Når sandhedens lys bliver modtaget og efterlevet, vil det bevirke en fuldstændig forvandling i liv og karakter hos alle, som helliges i det. Vejl f menigh bd. 1 side 164]
