THE HUMAN BODY.

BY KEY. j. n. N. JOHNSTON.
No one can be better than his best
thoughts and good thoughts as well as
bad ones have Il physical basis. Hence
my subject. the human body. Back
of all vice is physical basis, behind
all virtue is u physical basis. All
character has bodily basis, hence
Scripture puts emphasis on giving to
the human body.
When Christ was on earth lte gave
much attention TO the body. He was
constantly opening blind eyes. straight
ening crooked limbs. unstoppiug deaf
ears and removing leproSy spots.
When those eyes of our Savior caught
sight of Il diseased or def0rm.d body
his first thought was to make iG whole.
Sin. either by heredity or by actual
commission. he well know caused all
dcformites in body and he Game to
combat sin. We should be glad that
we live in an age when church is be
ginning to realize that the gospel is to
make men happy and useful ia this
world.
There was period even i'll the
Christian church when the body was
held in contempt. time when it was
supposed that there WAS an antipathy,
an enmity. between the body and the
spirit.
This early depreciation of the lody
arose from misunderstanding of the
word flesh: like the pagans around
them Christians began to think of
the body as sinful IN itself. and the
cause and occasion of all sin. An en-
lightenei philosophy and pure Chris
tianity regard the body Of man rs the
masterpiece of Goo's creative power,
as far abo the body Of the brute as
buman speech is above the grln' or
reason above instinct 1t requires more
skill to construct mars body than a
planet To the eye OF its Maker the
body 81 maa is more beautiful and
Respondent than any star ia the hrma-
ment
When orr Lord dignified human ma
ture by assuming mans body. he glo-
rified Il Know We not that your
body Is the temple Of the Holy Ghost:
