12	    Admit the common hypothesis that food is the nutri-
  	ment of life, and there follows the necessity for another
  	admission in the opposite direction, — that	                             Sustenance
15	food has power to destroy Life, God, through	                             spiritual 
  	a deficiency or an excess, a quality or a quantity. This
  	is a specimen of the ambiguous nature of all material
18	health-theories. They are self-contradictory and self-de-
  	structive, constituting a "kingdom divided against itself,"
  	which is "brought to desolation." If food was prepared
21	by Jesus for his disciples, it cannot destroy life.
