Excerpt from Thus Shalt Thou Live: Hints and Advice for the Healthy and the Sick on a Simple and Rational Mode of Life and a Natural Method of Cure When I glance at the life and doings of men, I see how most of them toil and labour in the various positions and callings assigned to them by Almighty God, striving hard to gain a live lihood for themselves and their families, so that they may indeed be said "to earn their bread in the sweat of their brow." From mans first appearance on earth, his sojourn here below and his final departure from this world, I learn also that his immortal soul dwells in an admirably formed, but very frail vessel. Various sufferings of mind and body render the performance of his earthly duties difficult and onerous, for "a heavy yoke lies on Adams children from the day they went forth from their mothers womb to the day they return to the earth, the mother of all." Reason teaches us that it was not always so, for, by his immortal soul and his free will, man is an image of his Almighty, All-good, All-wise creator. By faith we know further that the whole creation is groaning under the curse of original sin, and that God's justice demands that man should bear his fate in patience and be ready to die, when and where God calls him.
