Without blemish, and separate from sinners, He executed his priestly office on earth. What manner of persons then should his ministers be!

Many a healthful, beautiful soul is lodged in a feeble, deformed body. And those who may not be suited for the work of the ministry, may serve God with comfort in other duties in his church.
