It is even so w ith th e soul. A man who has neglected th e bread of life, and so lowered his sp iritu al vitality, offers an opportunity to m oral disease. T em ptations have most power when th e re is least prayer. The devil finds it a com paratively easy m a tte r to conquer any soul which has been impaired by neglect. Take th e b read of life, and feed on it often and regularly. Maintain your soul in health , and your very h ea lth i ness shall be your defense, yea, as a wall of fire, which cannot be broken th rough .— Jow ett.
