face, form, and features ; tend ever to express
themselves in bodily harmony, health, and
beauty.
On the other hand, how evident it is that
bodily disease, in all its forms, is inharmony.
It is also unbeautiful, is ugliness.
Similarly, again, mental and moral disorders
— vice, sin, crime — are inharmonious
and unbeautiful. They are inharmony and
ugliness of spirit (or mind or soul), and tend
ever to express themselves in bodily disease,
in discord, deformity, and ugliness of the
body, form, face, and features.
We will conclude this lesson by asking :
Who can say, in the face of these facts, — if
we agree that they are facts, — that religion
has nothing to do with our health ? When
we stop to reflect upon it, who can believe
for a moment, in the light of our common
experience, that sin and sickness do not
naturally go together ; that selfishness and
sin have no causal connection with disease
and death ?
