Willing Captives

"How often the love for some indulgence is stronger than the desire for a sound mind in a sound body. Precious hours of probation are spent, to please the eye or gratify the apetite. Custom holds thousands in bondage to the earthly and sensual. Many are willing captives."
Signs of the Times 6/1/1892 E.G.W.
Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 4:7
