"It is dangerous for you to be in such a run-down condition," remarked an old physician to a patient. "But you have found no disease?" "No," replied the physician; "but a low vital condition such as yours lays you open to every disease in the world--typhoid fever, consumption, or what not." It is just as dangerous spiritually. The enfeebled Christian is easy game for any kind of error-- [162] Christian Science, Mormonism, Roman Catholicism, or any other departures from the word of God--as well as for a multitude of temptations which a man of strong spiritual life could vanquish. Our only safety lies in cleaving to the Lord with purpose of heart. "For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."
