“I at once cut meat out of my bill of fare. After that I was at times placed where I was compelled to eat a little meat.’ This is in harmony with her earlier published statement which appeared in 1890 in the book, Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, reading, ‘When I could not obtain the food I needed, I have sometimes eaten a little meat; but I am becoming more and more afraid of it.’” (Page 9)
“In many things the Bible lays down principles and we are left to exercise our own judgment in the matter, while in many other matters a plain command is given.… In His infinite plan [God] appointed a part of the animal kingdom to act as scavengers.… In order that we might know those which feed upon clean food. He placed a mark or brand upon them.’” (Page 11)
“Mrs. White did come out against the use of pork, arguing that it produced ‘acrofula, leprosy and cancerous humors.’” (Page 8)
“If it is the duty of the church to abstain from swine’s flesh, God will discover it to more than two or three.’” (Page 8)
“certainly encourage that position, but never make it explicit” (Page 10)
