The Health Reformer.

By C. O. Taylor

The first number of “The Health Reformer” fell into my hands last evening. Then, and this morning I have given its contents a thorough perusal. I hail it with joy in the midst of our people. It is to give new life and energy to the progress of the third and last message. Its subject-matter is a part and parcel of the same, and can not be separated; and you, and all who contribute to its columns, and all who sustain you, will be carrying forward the work of preparation for the coming of the Just and Holy One. This people must, and I trust they will, take hold of the subject of Health. They should not think they have all the light, and thus stop growing in the knowledge of this important field of truth.

And again when they see the way, they should walk in it. Passion or appetite should not for a moment stand in the way. The God of Heaven is moving his people in this direction. We have taken up our line of march for Paradise restored, “where the inhabitants will not say, I am sick;” and our Captain would teach us many things before we get there. Isaiah speaks of a people whose “health shall spring forth speedily.” They are to raise up the foundations of many generations, and are called, “The repairer of the breach,” &c.; and they are to turn away their feet from the Sabbath from doing their pleasure on that holy day.

I have seen light and truth in the Health Reform for the last six years, and it looks brighter and of more importance to-day than ever.
