Excerpt from The Healthy Christian, Vol. 1 of 4: An Appeal to the Church

I address this book to Christians, to those who, being in Christ Jesus, walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. It is an effort to stir up pure minds by way of remembrance.

The world's way of making a good Christian is to lead the Christian into conformity with itself and reduce Christianity to a matter of ethics, and perhaps physiology. The Bible way is to separate the Christians from the world unto Christ, according to the grand truth that Christianity is not a code or system for mind and body, but a divine life, a life which is directly antagonistic to the world's life. The church is lamentably allied to the world through the agencies of wealth and fashion, and it becomes us to sound an alarm for Christ's sake, and remind the people of God of their true privileges and responsibilities.
