Diet.—The Sunnyvale Standard, a bright, local paper of California, says editorially, “While Mohammedans and the true Buddhists observe strict rules of diet, chiefly relating to the eating of animal flesh, there is practically but one Christian denomination which has gone into the subject in a strictly religious sense; namely, the Seventh-day Adventists.” In a way this is true, and yet it is likely to be misunderstood. Seventh-day Adventists impose no test upon their members as to what food they shall or shall not eat. They do, however, believe in the principle laid down by the apostle Paul that “whether therefore, ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” They hold that man has a threefold nature, body, soul, and spirit; that the condition of the body itself has a great effect upon the man; that he who is truly a Christian gives not simply his soul to God, but his body as well; and that it is his duty to maintain his body in the very best condition for the very best service of the Master. This seems to be the way the Standard looks at the matter, for it truly says, “When it is considered that at least two-thirds of the ills of the human race come from the abuse of the stomach, it would seem that this should be made a most important topic for Sunday sermons.” It certainly ought to be made an important topic for individual consideration.
