xc^ie 1008 We WlU 1 saUsf >’ him —Psalm
Through the mistake of its friends
religion has been chiefly associated with
sick beds and graveyards. The whole
subject to many people is odorous with
chlorine and carbolic acid. There are
people-whocannot pronounce the word
religion without hearing io it the clip-
ping chisel of the tombstone cutter. 1 Ii
is high time that this thiag were chang
ed and that-religion instead of being
repraoented as a hearse to carry out the
dead sbonld'be represented as a chariot
in which the living are to triumph. Re
ligion, so far from substracting from
one’s vitality, is n glorious addition.
It is **native, enrative, hygienic
is good for the eyes, good for the c «,»,
good for the spleen, good for the diges
tion,-good for the nerves, good-for the
muscles. When David in another
part of the Psalms pfays that religion
may be dominant, he’does not speak of
it aa* mild sickness, or an emaciation,
nn attack' of moral and spiritoal
mp* he speaks of it as “the saving
health of all -nations;” while God, in
the text, promisee longevity ■ to the
pious,* suying: “With long life ’will I
satisfy hin».” • ~ *
The fact is that-men-and women die
o soon. ■ It is high time that religion
joined the hand of medical 1 science in
attempting to improve banian longev
ity* Adam lived 030 years; ■ Methu
selah lived 9d9 yeare. As late in the
ihUtory of the world as Vespasian,there
jwese at one time in this empire forty-
five people 135 years old. So far down
a* the sixteenth century, Peter Zartan
.died at 185 years of ago. * I do not’say
jthat religion will ever ’ take the race
back to antediluvian longevity, bat I
.do nay the length of human life will be
Igreatly improved. It i* said in Isaiah
jlxr., 20: “The child shall die a hnn
dred years old.” Now if, according ti
Scripture the ohild in to be a hundred
year* old may not the man aud woman
[reach JOO and 400 and 500? The fact
jis that we are mere dwarfn and skele
tons compared with some of the gener
ations that are to come. Take the
African race. Tliey have been under
bondage for centuries. Give them a
Chance and they develop a Frederick
jDouglass or a Touissant Converture.
And if the white-race shall be brought
put from under the serfdom of-um.what
shall be the body? What shall be the
pool? Religion has only just touched
nur world. Give it full power for a
iw centuries and who can tell what
ill be the atrength of man and the
santy ef women, ami the longevity of
1 • My design is to show that practical
religion is tho friend o# longevity* and
I prove it; first, from the fact that it
ptakes the care of.our pbvaieal health
a positive Christian doty; Whether
we. shall keep early or late hoarfr.whcth-
erwe shalKake. food digestible or in
digestible, whether there shalMie thor
ough or incomplete mastication, are
questions -viry offeh’ deferred Io the
realm of whimsicality; but the Chris
tian man lifts this whole problem of
health into the . accountable. and the
, d ‘ vil f • H ? W^'/God hfe^ given me
(this body. and he has called it the tem :
pi® bf the Holy didst, and to deface
its altars Or mar its walls or crumble
its.pillsxs is a God-defying sacrilege.'
He .sees God’s psligraphyin every page
*—.anatomical and physiological., He
■ays; “God has given me a wonderful
body for noble parposes.” That arm
jwith 32 curious bodes, wielded by*40
curious muscles, and all under ihe
brain’s telegraphy —.350,pounds of
blood rushing through thq heart every
hour—the heart in twenty-four >onrs
beating 100,(100 times, daring the
twenty«four‘ hours overcoming resist
ance amounting to 224,000,000 pounds
during the same time the
lungs taking in 75 hogsheads of air,
and all this mechanism not more niighty
and delicate and-easily disturbed and
demolished.-- The Christian man’says
t9 himself: “If J hurt my nerves, if I
hart my brain.if ! hurt any of my phys :
,ical facnlties t insult God and call lor
jdtre retribution/’ Why did Gcal tell
Leviticns not to -offer to Him in aacri-,
lice animals imperfect and. diseased?
He meant to tell ns that in all the ages
that we art .to offer to God ofir' very
bept.physical condition, and'a maa who
through irregular ot glutinons earing
tuiun bis health is not: offering to God

religion is a protest against all dissipa
tion of any . kind.- “But,”, yon say,
“professors of religion have fallen, pro
fessors of rligion have got drunk, pro
fessors of religion have misappropriated
trust funds, professors of religion have
absconded.” Yes, but they threw away
their religion before they did their mor
ality. Ira man on a White Star line
Steamer, bound for Liverpool, in mid-
Atlantic - jumps overboard and is
ilrowbed, is that anything against the
W lute Star line’s' capacity to take the
man across the ocear? And if a man
jumps over the guntile of his religion.-
and goes down never to risk, is that any
reason for yonr believing that religion
h»s no capabity to take tho man clear
through? In the one case, if he had
kept to the steamer his body would
have been saved; in the bthkr ease, if
he had kept to his religion his moral
tvouhi hare been saved. There are
sged -people who 'would hivebcert dead

• Again religion is a friend of longevity
in the fact’that it takes the worry out
of our temporalities.» It is not work
(hat kills men, UU: worry. When a
tnan becomes a genius Christian he
makes over tb God no( orilr his affec
tions bnt his family, his bosinets, his
repntstion, his body, his -mind, his sonl
-—everything. Industrious fan will be,
but never worrying* because God is
managing his affairs. How can he
worry about business, when in answer
to hie prayers God tells him when to
boy and when to sell, and if he gain
that is best, and if ho lorn that is best.
Suppose you had.a supernatural neigh
bor who came in and said: “Sir, I want
yon to call on me in every Exigency; t
am yonr fast friend; I could foil back
on 120,000,000; I can foresee a panic

would yon worry about (maineas? Why.
yon would say. “I’ll do the best I can
and Ihen I’ll depend on tty friend’s
generosity for the rest.” Now more
than that is promised ter every Chris*
tian business man. God says tp him:
