Scope and Contents

JFS, letter to Willard R. Smith, 12 August 1905: "Be careful not to overload your stomach after fasting, and try to avoid as far as possible, long continued fasting, as I believe it to be hurtful to the system. To fast one day once a month is all that the Lord requires, and the extreme that some Elders go to in fasting for one, two, or three days together is in my judgement not only hurtful, but entirely unnecessary."
