Excerpt from The Food That God Intends for Man

Of these two ways of thinking about the Bible, which is right? There is a law that decides it, namely: There are two kinds of all created things, a good and bad. Every good thing has its Oppo site in a bad thing of the same kind and they are enemies. Every good plant that is useful to man has its opposite in weeds that are an abomination to man; and every good animal that is useful to man has, its opposite in beasts of prey that are anbetween right and wrong. The Creator does not say which way man shall choose; He leaves it for him to choose and rewards and punishes him according to his choice. Animals have no knowledge of good and evil, nor power to choose; they do the will of man because they are obliged to. As man has this knowledge and power he must do the will of the Creator from choice, and acknowledge the Creator his master from choice. As it is impossible for man to acknowledge anything his master (from choice without loving that object more than himself he must love his Creator with all his being. How does the Creator require man to feel toward his neighbor? Man desires horses to be peaceable and not agitate each other so that they can be useful to him. If any try to right those around them he does not want the others to fight back, but to be quiet and let him take care of the unruly ones. There is no reason to suppose that the Creator requires less of man. He requires man to love his neigh bor as himself because he cannot live in peace unless he does, and if any neighbor takes it upon himself to illtreat another, that one is not to illtreat in return and destroy the usefulness of both to their Creator, but to keep his peace and maintain his relationship to his Creator and let Him take care of the disobe dient one. So it is clear that the first duty of man is to love his Creator with all his being; the next is to love his neighbor as himself, and the next is not to render evil for evil. So the spirit of the Creator teaches what Christ taught. Then see the effect of Christ's teaching upon man. All the good there is in the world has come from it. See the difference between those who have had the benefit of it and those who have not. It is the forerunner of all progress. See the truth of it verified at the death of His followers. The expression in their countenance is beyond the power of man to describe; only those who have seen it have seen the most wonderful work of God. It is not seen in the countenance of all who die professing to believe in Christ, but it is seen in some, and if He is not Divine, how does it come?
