Excerpt from What Christianity Teaches Respecting the Body: A Sermon Preached

"Glorify God in your body." - 1 Cor. VI. 20.

"The Son of man is not come to destroy men"s lives, but to save them." - Luke IX. 56.

The constitution of human nature has been a subject of earnest study to thoughtful men in all ages. Like everything else, it is full of difficulty and mystery. The connexion of two elements so unlike as the intelligent conscious mind, and the gross fleshly habitation, has always appeared wonderful and perplexing: the more so, as these two seemed to act as antagonists and hindrances, rather than allies and fellow-workers, each of the other; as if they had been joined, that both might be rendered at once powerless and miserable; "the flesh lusting against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh, so that we do not the things that we would."
