The Health Reform.

It is not for the sake of commendation from others, that we, as a people, have entered into a reform on the subject of health. The advantages of this movement which we experience in ourselves lies in a far higher direction. Yet it is gratifying to know that our efforts in this respect are appreciated by those to whom this is a subject of chief interest. In a letter to the Editor of the World's Crisis, Dr. J. C. Jackson, of "Our Home," Dansville, N. Y., thus writes:

"Now I said to Bro. Himes, when I saw him last, that I thought you Adventists, considering your elevation in regard to general views, are at a low ebb in matters pertaining to health. You are giving it as a body of Christians, far less attention than the Seventh-day Adventists are. They publish books and tracts on the subject, arousing the attention of their people, until really as a denomination, they are in advance of any denomination of Christians in the United States. I think the effect of this must be very conducive to a high spirituality."
