This Is the idea Of our texts,
l Corinthians 3:l6, Know yc no,
that ye are q Temple Of God, and tha;
the Spirit Of God dwellcth in you"
Corinthians GIG, Know ye not
that your body is a Temple Of the
Holy Spirit"
John 2:2l, But Jesus spake Of the
temple Of his own body
The body is a Temple. Then by all
means the body must be made fit and
beautiful and clean and strong. In
oldsa times the Temple, the House Of
God, the place OF Worship, was the
best, the richest, the finest, the most
cared for building in the community.
To speak Of the body as temple
suggests that the body is sacred that

But why? Here is great artists
hall where We may see the statues of
David and Apollo Belvedere. Artists
tell US they are the models of perfect
human form and expression. But
they are only cold hard stone No
breath of life ever animated those
muscles. No red blood ever flushed
those checks. No sparkle OF eye
ever lit up those cold faces. They are
no men spite of the perfect form and
appearance of men.
Over here is a great museum of
science, and above one of the large
glass cases is a placard which says.
This is 4 man" Inside OF the case
are apparently empty large glass
jars labeled each, Hydrogen, Oxygen,
Nitrogen. Here is small glass vessel
of yellowish green gas marked chlo-
rine; a heaping plate of charcoal, q
stick OF phosphorous, lump of sui

mentary substances, in all weighing

chemical composition OF man. But
no man.
In another case we see the mummi-
fed body of some Egyptian, contempo-
rary predecessor or successor of
Tut-ank Amen, and it is labeled
This is 4 Man" And again though
we linger little longer and bit
more curiously ponder, we say, mo
this is not man.
We go to another institution not far
away and we see living being with
the physique Of David or Apollo Bel
vedere, with the strength of Samson
or Goliath. and We say surely here is
a man. But he stares at US with lack
( luster eyes out of thoughtless void,
and we say, mo this is not a man"
