Excerpt from Sermon on Modern Revivals N O proposition is more true than this - that man is naturally a religious being. His mind needs, and as naturally seeks for spirit-o ual food and sustenance, in the all important concerns of religion, as the body needs and seeks for that aliment which nature has pro vided for its support and strength. And as the body is rather ih jured than benefitted~rather weakened than strengthened - by partaking of poisonous or unwholesome food, or even by partaking of wholesome food at improper times, and in immoderate quantities, so the mind is equally liable to be injured by morally poisonous food -by Spurious and unwholesome systems of religion - or even by a true system, badly administered, or partaken to excess, and at ima proper times. Poisonous food, either for body or mind, is always pernicious, and good food may be abused and perverted from a bles sing to a curse. Heaven never bestowed on man a greater bles sing than that of religion, and yet few, if any, of the divine favors have been oftener, or more fatally perverted and abused, either by ignorance or wickedness, or by both.
