THE ADVENTIST SUNDAY

Yesterday Observed by the Visiting
Adventists as the Day of Rest.

The Adventists celebrated their Sabbath yesterday in the manner peculiar to themselves, and at sundown they again resumed the week-day programme. The day was characterized by large attendances from the country. At the morning services Mrs. White preached the sermon. In the early afternoon Elder Underwood spoke to the people and at 4 o’clock Mrs. White again took the platform and spokes [sic] to the Scandinavians through an interpreter. The church was crowded to the doors. It was a tedious process, speaking through an interpreter, but there seemed to be no lack of interest on the part of the hearers. At the evening session, Dr. Kellogg, of the Battle Creek sanitarium, spoke on the subject of “Health Reform.” Dr. Kellogg is a disciple of a vegetable diet, and even goes farther and entirely eschews butter. He says that he has eaten no meat or butter for a quarter of a century, and, though descended from a race of consumptives, he is still a hale and hearty man and growing more healthy every year. After his lecture he answered a long list of questions on diet that were handed him by people in the audience. He affirms that meat is almost unknown among nine-tenths of the inhabitants of the globe. Pork he would eat only as an alternative to starvation.MMM 588.2
