Health: Five Lay Sermons to Working-People

In this modest collection the author, a physician, addresses the everyday struggles of laborers and their families, offering straightforward counsel on preserving both body and spirit. Drawing on experiences from early missionary work and personal encounters with overwork, the sermons blend medical insight with moral encouragement, urging readers to pace themselves, value rest, and guard against the hidden toll of relentless toil. The language is plain and direct, speaking to the practical concerns of those who keep the city moving.

The five talks cover topics such as balanced activity, sensible nutrition, the dangers of chronic stress, and the importance of planning for later years. They use vivid analogies and relatable anecdotes to illustrate how small, disciplined choices can sustain health over a lifetime. Listeners will find a compassionate guide that respects their hard‑won experience while gently urging a steadier, healthier rhythm.
