It was Uriah Smith, said he didn't mind beans every day, but did not choose to eat them 365 days a year!!
Yay, for Dora! We laughed when we read that in
The Spirit of Sacrifice and Commitment, Experiences of Seventh-day Adventist pioneers, p 74. A cook the White's had didn't understand much on variety, but she did understand the value of beans - the budget could stretch farther when feeding 15 people in the White's home, 7 of whom were "hearty men and boys." Uriah Smith had been with them for a few weks when he commented to someone that "though he had no objection to eating beans 365 time in succession, yet when it came to making them a regular diet, he should protest!"
