Gospel Temperance Work presents Ellen White's vision for comprehensive temperance ministry as part of gospel outreach. This pamphlet addresses temperance reform not merely as health advocacy but as gospel work preparing people for Christ's return. White typically covered: temperance principles (abstinence from alcohol, tobacco, harmful drugs), connection between physical habits and spiritual receptivity, using temperance as entering wedge for broader truth, organizing temperance societies and rallies, and the WCTU relationship. The pamphlet emphasized that indulgence weakens moral resistance and spiritual discernment, making temperance essential for receiving latter rain. White advocated aggressive temperance work through lectures, publications, and legislative efforts while maintaining primary focus on spiritual preparation. Gospel temperance combines health reform with evangelistic purpose.
Temperance workers, health educators, evangelists using health as contact point, those engaged in public advocacy, and believers understanding temperance's spiritual dimensions.
