In the past the health books have not been handled with the interest which their importance demands. Though by a large class they have been highly appreciated, yet many have not thought it essential that they should go to the world. But what can be a better preparation for the coming of the Lord and for the reception of other truths essential to prepare a people for His coming than to arouse the people to see the evils of this age and to stir them to reformation from self-indulgent and unhealthful habits? Is not the world in need of being aroused on the subject of health reform? Are not the people in need of the truths presented in the health books? A different sentiment from that which has heretofore prevailed regarding the health works should be entertained by many of our canvassers in the field. {6T 326.2}

I fortiden er sundhedsbøgerne ikke blevet varetaget med den interesse, som deres betydning kræver. Selv om en stor klasse mennesker har sat stor pris på dem, har mange ikke ment, at det var nødvendigt at udbrede dem i verden. Men hvad kan vel give en bedre beredelse for Herrens komme og til modtagelse af andre sandheder, som er nødvendige for at berede et folk for hans komme, end at vække menneskene op til at se ondskaben i denne tid og til at formå dem til at afstå fra selvtilfredsstillende og usunde vaner? Trænger verden ikke til at vågne op og få forståelse af spørgsmålet om en sundhedsreform? En anden opfattelse angående sundhedsvirksomheden, end den, der hidtil har rådet, bør gøre sig gældende hos mange af vore kolportører i deres arbejde.
