Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Vegetarian Messenger, Vol. 7: Designed to Aid in the Extensive Diffusion of the Principles in Relation to the Food of Man We enter upon the commencement of our labours in the Seventh volume of the Messenger, with encouragement from the many past evidences of the usefulness of our mission, and with hope that, in our continued progress, the circle of our influence, in teaching sound principles of diet, will continue to be widened. Like all who have any feature of progress to recommend, whether of moral or external characteristics, we have reason to lament the continuance of the dire scourge of war, which has been relentlessly continued during the whole course of the past year. Faith in the religion of love, which ought to reign in the world, is ever of too weak and uncertain growth in men´s minds; but the aspect of setting aside even the abstract principles of charity professedly held, till some given purpose of hostility (involving destruction to life, and the wealth and resources of better days) shall have been attempted to be secured, can never fail to be deplored. Good things of every kind, from religion downwards, droop and decline; and thus, though our advocacy, and the general intelligence of the correctness of our principles, have doubtless progressed during the year 1855, we cannot, at the same time, but have had less results from our labours than if the minds of men had been occupied with subjects more peaceful, and more kindred to our own. May we not hope, however, that the promise of the time may be realized, and that, in entering upon the year 1856, we may see the realization of the hope that the political and social scourge we deplore may be removed, and leave the world to regain, though at disadvantage, the track of morals and of progress from which it has wandered! Our plan of publication will continue to be the same as for the past two years; and, whilst we take this opportunity of heartily thanking our Subscribers and Friends for their assistance and support, we are happy to announce that the Messenger has been extended in its distribution during the past year, especially in Scotland, and that many thousand copies have been gratuitously circulated during this period. The Messenger, however, continues still to be the pioneer of our Movement, and whilst the healthy demand for information, doubtless, continues infinitely beyond the means of our supply, it necessarily remains with our friends to increase this distribution of information, as far as may be, during the present year. The season for the review of our short-coming in the past year, has, doubtless, presented itself, and the period for an improved life of activity in the dissemination of our principles is at hand: and with this healthy purpose, our best wishes, suggested by this season of joy, are identified. May our public, social, and individual labours in the extension of Vegetarianism be more earnest and useful than heretofore; and may the truth of our Dietetic Reform be day by day more acknowledged, and thus made to become more and more conducive to the happiness of society!
