Counsels on Health - Ellen G. White

were to gain access to those not of our faith. We
were to have an institution where the sick could be
relieved of suffering, and that without drug
medication. God declared that He Himself would
go before His people in this work.
Well, the work has been steadily increasing.
The way was opened for our churches to take hold
of it. I proclaimed health reform everywhere I
went. At our camp meetings I spoke on Sunday
afternoons, and I proclaimed the message of
temperance in eating, drinking, and dressing. This
was the message I bore for years before I left for
Australia.
But there were those who did not come up to
the light God had given. There were those in
attendance at our camp meetings who ate and
drank improperly. Their diet was not in harmony
with the light God had given, and it was impossible
for them to appreciate the truth in its sacred, holy
bearing.
