I would rather that my spirit hunger and thirst than that it forget its own wants in satisfying the hunger and thirst of the body... I feel the necessity of treating myself with more respect than I have done -- of washing myself more religiously in the ponds and streams, if only for a symbol of an inward cleansing and refreshment -- of eating and drinking more abstemiously and with more discrimination of savors, recruiting myself for new and worthier labor..." 8 page publisher's prospectus for the work laid-in.
