What! know ye not that your body is nothing less than the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, and ye are not any more your own?
know ye not that your bodies are the very members of Christ ?' And then he says a thing so terrible that I tremble to transcribe it.

For a more terrible thing was never written.

'Shall I then,' filled with shame he demands, 'take the members of Christ and make them the members of an harlot ?' O God, have mercy on me! I knew all the time that I was abusing and polluting myself, but I did not know, I did not think, I was never told that I was abusing and polluting Thy Son, Jesus Christ.

Oh, too awful thought.

And yet, stupid sinner that I am, I had often read that if any man defile the temple of God and the members of Christ, him shall God destroy.
