CHAPTER 16 OPPOSING EXTREME VIEWS

WE HAVE so far considered five important visions and their relation to the progress of the cause of health reform among Seventh-day Adventists. In 1848 and 1854 preliminary reforms were called for. In the vision of Otsego, Michigan, June 6, 1863, the broad principles of the subject had been revealed to Mrs. Ellen G. White. In that of Christmas Eve, 1865, instruction had been given that led to the establishment of the Western Health Reform Institute. On December 10, 1871, at Bordoville, Vermont, warnings were given regarding the danger of losing sight of the great objectives for which the institution had been established. SHM 191.1
