The light given me is that in the Southern field, as elsewhere, the manufacture of health foods should be conducted, not as a speculation for personal gain, but as a business that God has devised whereby a door of hope may be opened for the people. In the South special consideration should be shown to the poor, who have been terribly neglected. Men of ability and economy are to be chosen to take up the food work; for, in order to make it a success, the greatest wisdom and economy must be exercised. God desires His people to do acceptable service in the preparation of healthful food, not only for their own families, which are their first responsibility, but for the help of the poor everywhere. They are to show Christlike liberality, realizing that they are representing God, and that all they have is His endowment. {7T 57.1}

Det lys jeg har fået er at fremstillingen af helsekost, i de sydlige områder og mange andre steder, ikke bør udføres som en spekulation for personlig vinding, men som en forretning Gud har udtænkt, hvorved en håbets dør kan åbnes for folk. I de sydlige stater bør der vises særligt hensyn til fattige, som er blevet frygteligt forsømt. Mennesker med penge og med evner skal vælges til at tage kostarbejdet op; for at det kan blive en succes, må den største klogskab og bedste økonomisering til. Gud ønsker at hans folk skal gøre en acceptabel indsats for at tilberede helsekost, ikke kun for deres egne familier, som er deres første ansvar, men for at hjælpe de fattige overalt. De skal vise Kristus-lignende godgørenhed, indse at de repræsenterer Gud og at alt hvad de har, er hans gave.
