Principles and Practices - July 24

Regularity Is Essential

As the natura1 life must be fed, developed, and disciplined if it is to attain to its full strength and usefulness, so must the spiritual life. And as the natural life, if neglected, will run to seed, so will the spiritual life.

-Maturin.
