Living in Health Lessen for March 28, 1955 ASCARIASIS is the name of a disease. It is caused by colonies of small round worms, parasites. named Ascaris. A Christian medical missionary who operates a hospital in Korea writes: “Reducing the number of people who have this debilitating parasite from 99% to 38% in one year, in our leper colony, is something to

|| Mb ■ Dr. Foreman

shout about from the housetops of Korea. Ascariasis takes that sharp edge off a person so that he is dull; his ambition is dampened; his reflexes are sluggish, and his integrity is weakened. I sometimes

feel that many of the attributes so often blamed on the Devil may possibly be more accurately credited to the lowly round worm that lives in comfort inside of most Koreans.” This is just one single illustration of something many Christians do not realize: that spiritual health, mental health and physical health all go together. Doing, Not Drifting Christian' living has many aspects. One of them is the importance of keeping a healthy body. Ascariasis seldom puts the patient to bed. Indeed the patient is seldom aware that anything is wrong with him. and yet his. lack of ambition, his dullness of mind, his •lack of dependability, may have their basis in his physical condition. So it is with all diseases, so it is with alt physical inefficiency even when you can’t quite call it a disease. It is a sin to be less healthy than you can be. It is (assuming you can help it) because your physical flabbiness leads to mental and moral and spiritual flabbiness too. This is not saying that every patient in a hospital is there because of his personal sins. But it is time that many of them are there precisely by their own fault. The point is, healcn of i>edy re spousibility. a duty he owes Gcd. other men, and himself. And health c? body will not come by chance, it will not come by drifttog. It comes by doing. This is true of the whole Christian life, bottom to top. Paul says to his converts: “Every one of you should learn to control his body, keeping it pure and treating it with respect. and never regarding it as an instrument for self-grati-fication.” (I Thess. 4:4, Phillips translation.) Health begins in selfcontrol comes only by working at it Purity Is Positive It is true that the New Testament warns against spiritual sins quite as much as against physical sins, if not more so. But it is also true that there are plain teachings about virtues and vices of the body itself. Drunkenness, sexual sins of various kinds, are always marked out as spiritual dangers. Blessed are the pure in heart, that is true. But those who are not pure in body are not pure in heart. Further, purity is not a negative thing. A virgin who had never touched a drop of liquor might yet not be pure. Repression of desire as the Bible knows and as psychology on its own has also discovered, — sheer repression, with nothing to balance it, may be a bad thing. A driver was boasting about how he eliminated some distance on a certain route he took every week, and so saved three minutes on every trip. But he could not answer the question: What do you do with those three minutes? So purity of life mean more than not squandering our energies and wasting our health, on drink or otherwise; it means using the energy we save, as God would have it used. Who's hi Charge Here? The key - question for healthphysical, mental, and spiritual- is, Who is in charge here? Is your body in charge of your mind, or is it the other way around? But which mind is in charge here? Your lazy, sleazy, shifty mind, content with ignorance, asking only to be amused (for you have such a mind), or the mind that aspires to higher things (for you have such a mind too). You Carry with you all your life the mind of the brute, the mind of the child; but you have the right to a mature mind, to be mature. Who is in charge here, the brute, the Child, or you? Above all, who is in charge of you? If the true answer to that last question is God, then the true answers to the others will be easier. Nllah Neil.
