By H. E. Sawyer-Hopkins

“ONE of the strongest temptations that man has to meet is upon the point of appetite.”

“Those who are slaves to appetite, will fail of perfecting Christian character.”

“Appetite and passion are overcoming thousands of Christ’s professed followers.”

“Continual transgression for over six thousand years has brought sickness, pain, and death as its fruit. As we draw near the close of time, Satan’s temptations to indulge appetite will be more powerful and more difficult to resist.”

“Alexander fell through the indulgence of appetite. Daniel and his companions formed temperate habits, which enabled them in the fear of God to make wise decisions.”

“Christ fought the battle on the point of appetite, and came off victorious.”

The all-wise Creator has made ample provision for all His creatures to maintain health without indulging in unnatural appetite; but we must give heed to the injunction. The restraint of unnatural appetite is the main thing to be considered in seeking for physical and mental health.
