His senses will prematurely decline. His body will become the prison and torture-chamber of his PREPARING FOR OLD AGE. mind. At fifty, he will be an old man, and loathe his life, which he will yet dread to surrender, became of an accusing conscience, and a just sense of a coming judgment. But it is not the body only that needs to be prepared for old age. It is true, the control and due moderating of bodily habits is one of the greatest means of moral and intellectual discipline. If a man wants ...to have control of his bodily appetites, he must control his mental desires, regulate his temper, govern his im- agination, order his thoughts, install his conscience in its sacred shrine, and bring his will into daily exercise. With proper exceptions, there is hardly a better test of a man's mental and moral state, than his bodily condition. Wholeness and holiness have the same meaning : health and salvation are ideas of one import. Intemperance is as much a mental as a bodily disease; licentiousness has its worst fountain in a prurient and polluted imagination.
