Fatal Results of Indulgence

We should be at the head in the temperance reform.... The reason why many of us will fall in the time of trouble is because of laxity in temperance and indulgence of appetite. PH136 7.3

Moses preached a great deal on this subject, and the reason the people did not go through to the promised land was because of repeated indulgence of appetite. Nine tenths of the wickedness among the children of today is caused by intemperance in eating and drinking. Adam and Eve lost Eden through the indulgence of appetite, and we can only regain it by the denial of the same.—The Review and Herald, October 21, 1884. PH136 7.4
