HEALTH MAXIMS.

By Ellen G. White

NEVER eat anything between meals.

Sleeping rooms should be well ventilated.

Many die of disease wholly due to meat eating.

Grease cooked in the food renders it difficult of digestion.

Many make a mistake in drinking water with their meals.

Fine flour bread will not keep the system in the best condition.

There is more religion in a good loaf of bread than many think.

Many indulge in the pernicious habit of eating just before retiring.

Some do not feel that it is a religious duty to prepare food properly.

The children of God cannot glorify him with sickly bodies or dwarfed minds.

One of the strongest temptations that man has to meet is upon the point of appetite.

We need to practice temperance in labor as well as temperance in eating and drinking.

It is as truly a sin to violate the laws of our being as it is to break the ten commandments. To do either is to break God's laws.

If travelers would eat regularly of the simplest and most nutritious kinds of food, they would not experience so much weariness, nor suffer so much sickness.

Christ fought the battle upon the point of appetite and came off victorious. How thankful we should be that we have a living Saviour, who is ready and willing to aid us?—Excerpts from the pen of Mrs. E. G. White.
