The Graham Health Movement

By David Paulson, M. D.

Removing the Causes of Disease — The Stiffening Joints of Age Rejuvenated

By DAVID PAULSON, M. D. Medical Superintendent of Hinsdale (Illinois) Sanitarium

THERE are few people who do not know about Graham bread, but not many in this generation have any intelligent conception of the remarkable Graham health movement that swept over the entire land between 1830 and 1840.

It was a time when the Spirit of God was striving mightily with the hearts of men. Wonderful spiritual revivals were in progress under the leadership of Charles G. Finney, William Miller, and others who had heaven-born messages to impart to earth's sin-cursed sons and daughters. It was during these years that the temperance movement was planted which is now ripening into such a wonderful harvest all over the earth.

It was also during this time that Priessnitz, a humble and unlearned peasant in Austria, was evidently raised up by God to demonstrate the marvelous healing possibilities of water and other natural remedies. Even the royalty of Europe came to him for relief from ailments that had baffled the skill of their wisest physicians; and as a result, water-cures came into existence all over the civilized world.

It was at this time when God was so wonderfully fertilizing the human mind and soul with divine truth, that the modern health idea was born. Its leading exponent was Sylvester Graham, who was not a physician, but a clergyman.

A DIETETIC SEER

Just as Lincoln was a great political prophet, so Sylvester Graham was a dietetic seer. It is remarkable how fully, at that early date, he anticipated the result of the most recent scientific medical work, including the researches of Chittenden, Prof. Irving Fisher, Horace Fletcher, and many other modern investigators. He was interested in fundamental truths instead of prevailing health fads, and foundation principles never can become out of date.

REMOVING THE CAUSE OF DISEASE

Modern scientists in these recent years have scored their most princely triumphs over disease by recognizing that it has definite causes and then insisting upon their removal. Yellow fever for a hundred years periodically struck terror to the fairest portions of our southland. The greatest physician was as helpless before its ravages as the most ignorant layman until Dr. Walter Reed, of the United States army, demonstrated that mosquitoes were the real cause of yellow fever. The discovery of this great truth, and the practical application of it, has transformed Panama from one of the most pestilential spots on earth to a veritable health resort, where the death-rate is actually less a thousand than in the most healthy city in the United States.

Sylvester Graham insisted that there was a definite cause not only for acute but also for chronic diseases, that they were not arbitrary dispensations of Providence. "One man gives himself up to an excess of stimulation; another to gluttony; one to some other species of sensuality; and thus chronic or acute disease is induced. . . . It has never occurred to them that there is any relation between their own voluntary habits, customs, and indulgences and the diseases with which they are afflicted."

THE PHYSICIAN'S DUTY

Unfortunately the medical men of that generation were endeavoring to remove disease by outrageous doping with drugs, instead of curing the patient's wrong habits, thus giving nature an opportunity to heal the disorder.

Even in this enlightened age, the sick will say, "Doctor, give me something that will cure my disease," not knowing that there can be no permanent cure unless the patient ceases manufacturing the causes for the disease. If I put my hand on a hot stove, I earn a blister; but there is just as real a cause for blisters on the stomach — or gastric ulcers, as we call them — as there is for a blister on the hand.

The same is equally true of headache or any other disorder. Nine times out of ten, headache is caused by eye strain, some pressure in the nose, or dietetic errors. Headache powders cure the patient just as chloroform cures pain in the operating room. But the headache powder temporarily paralyzes the stomach, the liver, and other organs, to the same degree that it does the nerves in the head; and the patient must afterward recover from its poisonous effects, just as the drunkard does from his alcoholic debauch.

Sylvester Graham asks and answers this vital question: "What remains for the physician to do, if no medicine is to be given? . . . To teach mankind the laws of life, the nature and the causes of disease; to guide their fellow creatures in the way of health; and when diseased, to make them wise by making them acquainted with the cause of their sufferings; to remove those causes, and thus enable the relieved system to recover health; and, when it is necessary, to remove immediate obstructions, to administer medicine as a necessary evil. . . . The grand distinction between a true physician and a quack, is, that the former prescribes when necessary, and then expressly as a necessary evil. The latter prescribes it as in itself a good, and therefore to be taken on all occasions and for all symptoms."

GRAHAM'S HEALTH PRINCIPLES

First, "Medicine of every kind, name, form, and quality, should be totally abstained from, unless a single dose should be rendered necessary by peculiar circumstances."

Second, "Distilled spirits, wine, beer, cider, tobacco, opium, coffee, tea, pepper, mustard, and every other kind of artificial stimulants and narcotics, should be totally abandoned."

Third, "Food should be taken in the natural and simple state, and plainly prepared, or cooked with no other seasoning than a very little salt, and eaten in moderate quantities, at regular periods, well masticated, and swallowed slowly."

Fourth, "The bowels should be kept regular by unbolted wheat meal bread and fruit."

Fifth, "Let the last meal of the day be simple and light, and at a good distance from bedtime. Never sleep on a full stomach."

Sixth, "Keep the skin clean, and exercise it well with a flesh-brush."

A SUBSTANTIAL TEST

In the early thirties, cholera was spreading terror over this country. Nearly four months before it appeared in New York, Sylvester Graham gave a public lecture in New York City in which he contended that an entire abstinence from flesh meat and flesh soups and every kind of purely stimulating substances, and the observance of a correct regimen in regard to sleeping, bathing, clothing, exercise, the indulgence of appetite, etc., would constitute the surest means by which any one could be spared an attack of that disease.

Quoting his own words: "I repeated this lecture after the cholera had commenced its ravages in the city; and notwithstanding the powerful opposition to the opinions which I advanced, a very considerable number of the citizens strictly adhered to my advice. And it is an important fact, that of all who followed my prescribed regimen uniformly and consistently, not one fell a victim to that fearful disease, and very few had the slightest symptoms of an attack."

This experience is an interesting reminder of the words of the psalmist: "Thou shalt not be afraid . . . for the pestilence that walketh in darkness. . . . A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. . . . Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling." Ps. 91: 5-10.

It is safe to predict this will only be fulfilled for those who are as intelligently cooperating with nature's laws as they are faithfully observing spiritual law.

Those who conscientiously adopt correct health principles will sooner or later reap bountiful and permanent results. Mr. Graham, speaking on this point, said that he had

helped many men who had begun to feel what they considered the stiffness and rigidity of old age coming upon them, and who, a few months after adopting a vegetarian diet, found with delight that much of their youthfulness and activity was restored to them, and they were soon able to cast aside their staff, forget their stiff and slow gait, and assume the elastic step of early life.

Graham did not merely advocate abandoning unwholesome articles of food. He insisted that their places should be substituted with those that were wholesome, nutritious, and appetizing. Upon this point he said: "I wish it to be distinctly remembered that vegetable food can be made incomparably more pernicious than plain, simple, animal food in temperate quantities. It is infinitely better to subsist on a mixed diet of vegetable and animal food under a good general regimen, than to live wholly on vegetable food badly selected, viciously prepared, and eaten in inordinate quantities, while at the same time we live in the violation of almost every other correct rule of health."

We owe a debt of gratitude to those pioneer health reformers who under great difficulties and amidst much opposition unfurled the true standard of reform. It is not only our privilege to profit by their work, but also our duty to lift the standard still higher, and ask God to help us teach these vital, life-saving truths to our fellow men.

The Word "Wine" in the Bible

By Mrs. S. N. Haskell

Distinction Between the Unfermented and the Alcoholic Juice of the Vine

By MRS. S. N. HASKELL

UNFERMENTED wine, or grape juice, or fruit nectar, as it is termed, is not a modern drink by any means. It was a well-known, favorite drink with the ancients.

Dr. Adam Clarke gives the following comment on Gen. 40:11: "'And I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup.' From this we find that wine anciently was the mere expressed juice of the grape, without fermentation. The saky, or cupbearer, took the bunch, pressed the juice into the cup, and instantly delivered it into the hands of his master. This was anciently the yayin of the Hebrews."

INCONSISTENT IN USE OF WORDS

Those who claim that the Bible recognizes only fermented wine, translate yayin as fermented wine in the 142 places it occurs in the Bible. This is not correct. As well might we claim that "meat" in Gen. 1:29 means "flesh," because it is so understood in 1 Cor. 8:13. The meaning of words in all languages changes as years pass. "Prevent" in the days of King James meant to "go before," but it has an entirely different meaning now. Those who insist upon always translating the Hebrew word yayin, "fermented wine," are much the same as those who, in the twentieth century, would use the word "prevent" with the meaning of the seventeenth century.

William Smith, in his large three volume dictionary of the Bible, says that it was an ancient custom to preserve the wine sometimes in an unfermented state, and that the terms translated "wine" sometimes refer to an unfermented liquor. Fermented wine is mentioned more times in the Bible than the unfermented, because of the oft-repeated warnings against it.

THE SWEET OR NEW WINE

The term "sweet" or "new wine," as used in Joel 3:17, 18 and Amos 9:13, where it is promised by God as a special blessing to His people, is translated from the Hebrew word 'Asis. Henderson, as quoted in M'Clintock and Strong's "Biblical and Theological Cyclopedia," says: "By 'Asis is meant the fresh wine, or the juice of the grape or other fruit which has just been pressed out*, and is remarkable for its sweet flavor and its freedom from intoxicating qualities."

God designs that His people should enjoy the juice of the luscious fruits He has given them in such abundance, but He forbids their even looking upon it when the bite of the serpent, or alcohol, is in it. Prov. 23:31, 32. Truly fermented wine "biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder."

PRESERVED BY BOILING

It is usually understood that the Hebrew debash, a beverage called "honey" in Gen. 43:11 and Eze. 27:17, was similar to the dibs in common use in Syria at the present day. Dibs is the unfermented grape juice preserved by boiling it down to one half or one third of its original bulk, which is diluted with water before drinking. In many homes, sweet cider is preserved in the same manner.

Unfermented wine has always been a favorite beverage of those who wished to keep their bodies in the best physical condition. Many of the pure unfermented fruit juices are destructive to germ life. Typhoid fever germs are slowly killed by lemon juice. Unfermented fruit juices are cooling to the blood, and in direct contrast to the feverish effect of the fermented wine.

"Strictly One Price"

By A. E. Place

No "Special Bargains" in God's Dealings with Men

By A. E. PLACE

WE sometimes see the sign, "Strictly One Price," hanging in clothing stores, grocery stores, etc. Wherever this motto is the "Medo-Persian law" of the establishment, we pay the price, if we take the goods.

"This suit of clothes will cost you thirty dollars." "This sack of potatoes is two dollars." "This bread is ten cents a loaf." If we are satisfied with the price, and can pay it, and really desire the goods, we buy; but if not, we pass on.

Everything has a price. Some stores have at least two prices,—the "asking price" and the "selling price"; but God's store is "strictly one price, and everything is plainly marked."

Honesty, purity, justice, patience, holiness, each has a price, and there is nothing fictitious about it. God never advertises, "Was $100, to-day only $75." No! Yesterday these virtues cost a life of self-denial, sacrifice, and tears. They cost the same to-day. The price and the cost are ever the same. They cost us what they cost the Son of the living God two thousand years ago.

A good education costs years of hard study, close application, tedious examinations; but if properly applied, it is worth all it costs. Everything that is truly good is worth what it costs.

We hear a talented pianist or violinist, and are inspired with a longing to possess such ability as his; and without careful consideration, we exclaim, "O, I would give anything if I could play like that!" Yet if we have a reasonable amount of musical talent, and we mean what we say, we might gratify our desire. But it would mean, Pay the price; and that price is years of drilling on scales, five-finger exercises, harmony, technique, etc.

Some one once asked a noted Italian violinist how much time he had spent in practise. He replied, "From six to twelve hours every day for twenty years." But with his violin he could sway audiences at will. Why? — He had paid the price.

If our hearts, our voices, our tempers, our desires, our bodies, were "kept in subjection" to the will of the divine Teacher, with anything like the devotion of that Italian, we may be assured that ere twenty years had passed, God would cause us to sway the hearts and souls of men, and our own souls would be thrilled with a joy unknown to the musician who works for the applause of man.

If a minister reads this, let us consider carefully the following statement: "Many of our ministers are dwarfs to-day who might, by a wise use of their time and talents, have become intellectual giants."

Reader, do you want good goods? Then pay the price. Do not think you can deceive God on examination day. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." Gal. 6:7, 8.

Our penal institutions, and many of the graves in our cemeteries, are filled with men, women, and children, who tried to get the goods without paying the price. Taking without leave, "buying on margins," selling by "light weight"—in a word, trying to "climb up some other way" (John 10:1)—are snares of the devil, and he who is snared will in the end pay the devil's price for the folly. "The wages of sin is death."

Is there a boy or a girl, a young man or a young woman, reading these lines? Then stop right here long enough to lift your eyes and heart to Him who rules on high and knows our very thoughts, and sincerely pray, "My Father, for Christ's sake, for the sake of my mother, my loved ones, for my own soul's sake, I will from this day deal at Your store only, and by Your grace I will pay the price."

Overcoming Every Besetting Sin

“The Bible teaches that every besetting sin must be put away, that the warfare against evil must be waged until every wrong is overcome.”

Christlike Self-Denial and Sacrifice

"Christ's work of self-denial and sacrifice brought into the daily life, will develop the faith that works by love and purifies the soul. There are many who wish to evade the cross-bearing part, but the Lord speaks to all when He says, 'If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.' Matt. 16:24."

Not for Arbitration

By Editor

IN referring to the Tampico incident that was the last straw which came along to precipitate the controversy with Mexico, Huerta is reported to have requested that the matter be referred to the Hague Tribunal for arbitration, but President Wilson's reply was that insults to the American flag and questions of national honor can not be settled by arbitration.

President Wilson and his assistants are among the strongest, and we might even say, stubbornest advocates for peace that may be found in the world. That is, these men who are now at the head of our nation, in charge of the affairs of state, will face popular demonstrations and hold out to the very last minute before permitting themselves to lead this nation into war. But even these men are forced to admit that conditions will sometimes drive a nation to war.

One of the principal ingredients that works into it is the supreme selfishness of men, that God has said through His word would make the last days perilous; and one of the greatest perils that confronts us is the increasing world-wide spirit that makes for war.

The men of high ideals and of strong purpose who are found in every nation are in the right in declaring that war is one of the most absurd things that civilized nations can engage in. It is just as absurd as the duel, which most nations have outgrown. But regardless of these facts, and regardless of the high ideals these men so properly hold, we are confronted with a chronic selfishness that manifests itself in greed for gain and for power. These baser things are forcing the hands of men who are rightfully opposed to the cruelties and the barbarities of war.

We must accept the facts as they are, and not take for fact our ideals of how things ought to be. In these times, we should not lose sight of the great truth that God's unmistakable prophecies have pointed out that Armageddon, which will involve all the world in war, and not universal peace, is just before us.

Approaching Religious Despotism

By Editor

SOME weeks ago in a certain section of this country, considerable space was devoted in the news columns to appeals that were made to the ministers of the several denominations in behalf of a certain political candidate. The ministers saw fit to reject those particular appeals, and to enter into the combat quite warmly and support another candidate instead. Neither the time, the place, nor the names of any of these individuals are important. But one thing is very important, and that is that we should recognize that the world is strongly setting in to make history all over again in the way of establishing an ecclesiastical despotism.

More than fifty years ago, the people who are represented by this paper reached the conclusion, from the study of the prophecies of Revelation, particularly the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth chapters, that we would have a combine that would inaugurate a repetition of all the persecutions and tyrannies that the religious bigotry of the middle ages perpetrated on the world. But this last great religious oppression will be short, bitter, and decisive. And when it reaches its climax, Christ will appear in the clouds of heaven to destroy it, and the controversy against sin will be forever ended.

When we first began to publish these things, there was not even a little cloud the size of a man's hand above the horizon to indicate that the prophecy would be fulfilled in this generation. But we went on teaching, from the prophetic Word, that Catholicism would regain its power and would again be enthroned in both its ecclesiastical and its civil strength, as in former days. We said, from these prophecies, that nominal Protestantism would so far degenerate and lose its strength and vigor that it would unite with and support the papacy in this world-wide ecclesiastical empire.

Those who are familiar with what is transpiring, know of the marvelous progress of the papacy, particularly in this great, liberty-loving United States. They know that the papacy is making similar progress in England, western Europe, and elsewhere. And they know furthermore that the line of distinction between the papist and the Protestant is rapidly fading away. We have our great world-wide federation of Protestant churches that has reached out its hand to the papal power, and together they are organizing, not so much for the advancement of the cause of Christ by the powers of persuasion, as He directed, but that they may exert their great strength of mere numbers to rule in the political conditions of the world as well as in the spiritual.

History has ever shown that whenever the church enters politics, the political side is in the ascendancy, and her religion becomes enforced, tyrannical, and oppressive. The world is moving with such great intensity in business and in social pleasures, and there has been so much of enlightenment and progress in material things, that most people believe the twentieth century has placed us beyond the bounds of religious tyrannies and persecutions.

But we are not warranted in these conclusions by the trend of these times. There were never in all this world such ominous and such overawing religious combinations as those that are forming to-day. None of the religious combinations that have ever been organized in the past have had the advantages of the railroad, the steamboat, and the telegraph, and therefore they could not make their work absolutely world-wide. But this despotism that is now coming has facilities by which it will be able to reach every nook and corner of the habitable globe.

The words of the prophecy are:

"And his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Rev. 13: 3, 8.

This religious despotism will reach its climax and go to its doom in this generation. If you prize eternal life, do not cast this aside as unworthy of attention, but study the trend of events in the light of God's plain, prophetic word.

The Event That Brings Us Joy

THE second coming of Christ is the one great event that is just before us. Christ and His coming is the one theme that should absorb the attention of thinking men in this time. There is an array of prophetic evidence of unmistakable meaning and of unmistakable clearness, and all this evidence points definitely and emphatically to this generation as the one that is to witness the coming of the Lord in the clouds of heaven.

There are conditions of many kinds and descriptions in all parts of the world that are causing the stoutest hearts to quail in fear. Old controversies are arising, new ones are springing up, and in their commingling they produce conditions that fill the minds of men, not only with uncertainties, but with terrors. The Master has forewarned us that conditions in the earth would be such at the time of His coming that men's hearts would be failing them for fear as they were looking after those things that were coming upon the earth. We are in that time, and these conditions will grow worse and worse until the climax of wickedness is met by the great climax of righteousness when Christ comes.

If you would have the terrors that are inspired by these times in which we live replaced by the delights that are too full of joy to be described, then turn to God's word. Learn to rest upon its rich promises, and gain the soul-satisfying experiences that come into the heart through the divine opening of the mind to the light of prophetic truth.

Criminals, Imbeciles, and Defectives

DR. ARTHUR MACDONALD, who has written numerous volumes upon the defective and criminal classes, several of these volumes having appeared as government documents, is seeking to secure the passage of a bill by Congress to establish a bureau for the study of the criminal, the pauper, and the defective.

The bill provides for a competent head of this bureau, and numerous assistants who shall make an expert study of criminals and defectives. Other governments have already made similar provisions; and this bill, if passed, will make it possible for those who are studying the subject in this country to avail themselves of the studies carried on in other countries.

It is desired that some of the brightest young men who are now in the universities shall have their attention directed to the study of these matters, with the end in view of pointing out, through the principles of science, the means by which the alarming situation of criminals, imbeciles, and other defectives may be helped, and their numbers decreased by preventive measures that will save others from entering their ranks.

These classes have risen among us in such alarming numbers as to constitute not only an international problem, but an international peril.

By J. O. C.

THE war with Mexico has now begun in great earnestness, and will surely reveal more fully than before the strongly organized selfishness of humanity. For instance, a few days ago a local board of labor passed a resolution urging laboring men not to take up arms against "Mexican working men." This is a significant expression, and means much to other fraternities of the same complexion. Without doubt this association sentiment will prevail to considerable extent in other parts, and create some friction in governmental administration. War is terrible at best, especially when two nations so strongly unyielding as are both Mexico and the United States face each other in bitter field contest. How much better were carnal strife avoided! But how bad when any government must be embarrassed in its administrative burdens by internal influences, so strong as to divide the sentiment of otherwise loyal citizens! It is to be feared that the present war-cloud holds much sorrow and anguish that will yet drop upon thousands of as yet unsuspecting heads of this and other countries.

Diseased Flesh and Temperance Reform

By Editor

It is reported that hundreds of deer have died of pneumonia in the ranges in California during the past winter. One man counted 113, mostly yearlings, that he found dead. Some have thought, when they supplied themselves with meat from wild game, that they had something immune from disease; and without much question the wild animals are less diseased than the domestic. But even these, it seems, are not immune. The curse of sin is resting more and more heavily upon this earth, and even the wild animals of the mountain ranges are made to feel it. The time can not be very far distant when animal food will become so diseased that persons who eat it will do so at the peril of their lives. And there is enough danger at the present time from the diseased flesh that is placed upon the markets for consumption.

THE Anti-Saloon League has received a donation of $50,000 for the purpose of starting the publication of a daily paper, and another $50,000 is "in sight." It is the plan to publish this daily in Washington, D. C., beginning at the opening of the regular Congress session next December. Arrangements have been made to start it off with a circulation of 100,000, and to push it forward as rapidly as possible to the 1,000,000 mark. While it will give the general news of the world, four pages will be devoted to illustrations and "right-up-to-the-minute" information concerning the great battle against intemperance. Every item of progress in the great cause of temperance should be hailed with delight.

No part of the work of the University of California is any more valuable to the state and the country at large than its department of agriculture. It has its agricultural summer schools, its agricultural correspondence schools, and in every way is giving splendid service in the interests of husbandry. Those who are interested in any line of farming, stock raising, poultry culture, or what not, should state the subjects in which they are interested, addressing the University of California, Berkeley, California, Department of Agriculture, and they will receive interesting bulletins, suggestions, etc.

THE advertisement by Elder M. C. Wilcox, of his home, in another column of this issue of the paper, is worthy of the careful consideration of any one who might be interested in anything of that sort. It is good property and in a desirable location.
