Health a Duty
1 Timothy 5:23
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your often infirmities.


Health underlies all there is of a man. I think a man ill-bodied cannot think healthily. It would surprise people to see how many things which have shaken the world with controversy, and burdened it with error, bad their origin in indigestion. Health is a duty. If a man would carry his mind aright, and have it work with power, let him seek to be healthy.

(H. W. Beecher.)
