He came, not to teach a system of philosophy, however useful that might be; not to direct man how to procure food for his physical existence with the least possible exercise of physical strength, however necessary this might seem.

But He came to give man a new nature which shall more than do all this; which will not only secure his well-being here, but his eternal felicity hereafter.
"As we rise above our _time_ nature, and are united with our _eternal_ nature, we feel more and more our indebtedness to Christ.

It was to this He called us in all His words, and now calls us in the Spirit.
