[Australasian Uni<strong>on</strong> Record, July 28, 1899.]<br />

The light given me is that it will not be very l<strong>on</strong>g<br />

before we shall have to give up using any animal<br />

food. Even milk will have to be discarded. Disease<br />

is accumulating rapidly. The curse of God is up<strong>on</strong><br />

the earth, because man has cursed it. The habits<br />

and practices of men have brought the earth into<br />

such a c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> that some other food than animal<br />

food must be substituted for the human family. We<br />

do not need flesh food at all. God can give us<br />

something else.<br />

When we were talking about this land, it was<br />

said, “Nothing can be raised here.” “Nevertheless,”<br />

I said, “the Lord can spread a table in the<br />

wilderness.” Under His directi<strong>on</strong> food will go a<br />

l<strong>on</strong>g way. When we place ourselves in right<br />

relati<strong>on</strong> to Him, He will help us and the food we<br />

eat in obedience to Him will satisfy us. We can<br />

subsist <strong>on</strong> very much less than we think we can, if<br />

God’s blessing is <strong>on</strong> the food; and if it is for His<br />

glory He can multiply it.<br />
