BODY OF THE HOUSE. 71 



It is a sort of connecting link, that, if used, 

 serves to bind the human soul to the habitation 

 it occupies, for a few years seldom more 

 than a hundred. Without it, or neglecting to 

 use it, our lives, as a race, must soon termi- 

 nate. "He that would not work, neither 

 should he eat," is a divine law ; and we 

 could not work much without this little instru- 

 ment.
