Work is Healthful
John 9:4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work.


On one occasion a neighbouring minister warned Dr. Morison, of Chelsea, that he was doing too much work. "Depend upon it," said Dr. Morison, "the lazy minister dies first." Six months afterwards he was sent for by his friendly monitor, and found him dying. "Do you remember what you once said to me?" inquired the dying man. Stunned by finding his words so vividly remembered at this time, he replied, "Oh, don't speak of that." "Yes, I must speak of it," said his friend. "It was the truth! Work, work while it is called day; for now the night is coming, when I cannot work."
