PERSONAL PURITY.
;“It is an amazing thing that mankind should be so particular and careful regarding the purity of its food supply, milk supply and water supply, yet so disregardful of personal purity. Surely personal purity should be almost axiomatic?” writes Dr R. CoveSmith, captain of the English Rugby XV in “Honour,” the official journal of the Alliance of Honour. “In the true spirit of the Incarnation of life here on earth is an embodied life containing three factors —body, mind and spirit—and it cannot be a satisfactory life unless those three factors are blended together into one harmonious whole and work together for the common good. Life cannot be fine and glorious unless the body is finely tempered. If we are to use it and employ it properly, it is essential that we should understand it;, that we should find out the elementary facts of physiology and learn how to keep the body in good health. The temple must be swept and garnished kept clean and rendered fit for inhabitance.”
