Master's business

From early boyhood he was about his "Father's busi- ness." His pursuits lay far apart from theirs. His mas- ter was Spirit; their master was matter. He served God; they served mammon. His affec- tions were pure; theirs were carnal. His senses drank in the spiritual evidence of health, holiness, and life; their senses testified oppositely, and absorbed the material evi- dence of sin, sickness, and death.
