MASTERY OF APPETITES

REV. EMORY J. HAYNES TELLS WHAT IS TO THE BENEFIT OF MAN.

From the April 1893 issue of The Christian Science Journal

Boston Globe


"God cures the spirit, and the spirit cures the mind God cures the mind and the mind cures the body; so God ever works along the line of the highest things," said Rev. Emory J. Haynes, D. D., yesterday evening.

The text was: "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection," and the discourse treated of The Appetites, their Mastery, and their Service."

"It is an old saying," remarked the preacher; "that man is fearfully and wonderfully made. But it is always the mind strangely collocated with the body that is the court of last resort. The body cannot hunger, the body cannot thirst it is the mind which hungers and thirsts, it is the mind which tells the body when it requires food, it is the mind back of all of our affections, desires, and appetites which rules, it is mind which is the master, not matter, it is the mind not the body which is warm and cold, and the mind is the final arbitrament of all our senses." —Boston Globe
