Not a Test Question

Ellen White's 1909 counsel that “we are not to make the matter of meat eating a test of fellowship” was reiterated on October 10, 1911, when she wrote, “I am not prepared to advise that we make the matter of meat eating a test question with our people.”—Manuscript 23, 1911. None, however, can overlook the importance of a vegetarian dietary program that has proved so beneficial to so many and from year to year gains support from the scientific community and in popularity.6BIO 207.2
