Temperance in the Light of God's Purpose

By Ellen G. White

MINISTERS of the gospel, statesmen, authors, men of wealth and talent, men of vast business capacity and power for usefulness, are in deadly peril because they do not see the necessity of strict temperance in all things. They need to have their attention called to the principles of temperance, not in a narrow or arbitrary way, but in the light of God’s great purpose for humanity. Could the principles of true temperance be thus brought before them, there are many of the higher classes who would recognize their value, and give them a hearty acceptance.—Mrs. E. G. White.
