Govern the Appetites

The nearest approach to a brute that man can make is to become a mere creature of appetite—a feeder, a toper. So long as he is well fed or well crammed, a glutton is a stupid, harmless lump, but deny him his provender and he becomes a savage. Govern the appetites, or they will become tyrants, under whose bondage all that is noble in the human character will be crushed out of existence. Besides, indulgence of the appetites in time destroys health; and what is life without health?—Church Advocate.
