VEGETARIANISM. NO I.

By W. H. Wakeham

BY ELDER W. H. WAKEHAM.

In the sense in which I shall use the term, one who abstains from the use of flesh meats is a vegetarian. The number of those who are practically such, if not wholly so, is much greater than is commonly supposed, and is constantly being augmented by thinking men and women from every walk in life. As viewed from the standpoint of the advocates of vegetarianism, the subject is one of considerable importance; and while many arguments in favor of this practice may be presented from various sources, I shall confine myself in this paper to a few observations concerning the teachings of the Bible on this subject. And we come to the word of God with the full assurance that if this question be of importance to the human race, we shall find definite information concerning it, for we are assured that the Scriptures will furnish us “unto all good works.” 2 Tim. 3:17.
