"Both young men and young women should be taught how to cook economically, and to dispense with everything in the line of flesh food. Let no encouragement be given to the preparation of dishes which are composed in any degree of flesh food; for this is pointing to the darkness and ignorance of Egypt, rather than to the purity of health reform. CT 313.1"
"To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten."
Both passages deal with dietary laws and distinctions between what is acceptable and unacceptable to eat. The EGW quote advocates for a vegetarian diet and discourages the consumption of flesh foods, associating it with the 'darkness and ignorance of Egypt.' The Leviticus verse outlines the distinction between clean and unclean animals. The connection is thematic, focusing on dietary principles and their spiritual implications.
"Women especially should learn how to cook. What part of the education of a girl is so important as this? Whatever may be her circumstances in life, here is knowledge that she may put to practical use. It is a branch of education which has a most direct influence upon health and happiness. There is practical religion in a loaf of good bread. CT 313.2"
"She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness."
Both passages highlight the importance of women's domestic skills and their impact on the household. The EGW quote emphasizes the importance of cooking for women and its influence on health and happiness, while the Proverbs verse praises a woman who diligently manages her household and avoids idleness. The connection is thematic, focusing on the value of women's practical skills and their role in maintaining a healthy and well-managed home.
"Culture on all points of practical life will make our youth useful after they leave the school to go to foreign countries. They will not then have to depend upon the people to whom they go to cook and sew for them, or to build their habitations. And they will be much more influential if they show that they can educate the ignorant how to labor with the best methods and to produce the best results. A smaller fund will be required to sustain such missionaries, because they have put to the very best use their physical powers in useful, practical labor combined with their studies. This will be appreciated where means are difficult to obtain. They will reveal that missionaries can become educators in teaching how to labor. And wherever they go, all that they have gained in this line will give them standing room. CT 313.3"
"For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more."
Both passages emphasize the importance of service and self-sufficiency in spreading a message. The EGW quote discusses how practical skills can make missionaries more effective and self-reliant, while the Bible verse describes Paul's willingness to become a servant to all in order to win more people to Christ. The connection is thematic, focusing on the idea that practical skills and a servant's heart can enhance one's ability to influence others.
