Object Lessons in Health Reform The large gatherings of our people afford an excellent opportunity of illustrating the principles of health reform. Some years ago at these gatherings much was said in regard to health reform and the benefits of a vegetarian diet; but at the same time flesh meats were furnished at the tables in the dining tent, and various unhealthful articles of food were sold at the provision stand. Faith without work is dead; and the instruction upon health reform, denied by practice, did not make the deepest impression. At later camp meetings those in charge have educated by practice as well as by precept. No meat has been furnished at the dining tent, but fruits, grains, and vegetables have been supplied in abundance. As visitors ask questions in regard to the absence of meat, the reason is plainly stated, that flesh is not the most healthful food. {6T 112.1}

(112) Vort folks store samlinger giver en fremragende anledning til at illustrere helsereformens principper. For nogle år siden blev der ved disse samlinger sagt meget om helsereformen og dets fordele ved vegetarkost; men samtidig blev der sat kødretter på bordene i spiseteltet og forskellige usunde madvarer blev solgt fra provianteringsstedet. Tro uden gerninger er død; og undervisning i helsereformen gør ikke det dybeste indtryk, når den fornægtes i praksis. Ved større lejrmøder er de tilsynsførende blevet uddannet i det praktiske, såvel som ved forskrift. Ingen kødretter er blevet serveret i spiseteltet, men frugter, korn og grøntsager er blevet leveret i overflod. Når gæster spørger hvorfor der ikke er kød, siges det klart at kød ikke er det sundeste mad.
