BEING SATISFIED
To Jesus the most pxtiful and the mcst 'dangerous thing in the world was an. ernpty life. It always proves a suitable home for seven devils. He did ask men to give up things,, but only that they migfit ha've room for greatex things. • He did say die, but xt was in order that you might live. What is wrong with most men in this \yorld is that they have found nothing in tliis world big enough to be worth pursuing with their whole 'being's efiergy, and therefore life is dull. Mero pleasures don't help them. • I quite believe -they' do seem to • satisf y for a while, but men are reallv too bfig for that way of -life, and "tlie policy of merely having a good time leads to having a .siekening tiine. ; It is only the' man in sympathy "witli the great purposes of Christ and :invital contact with God Himself who ' 9
finds that the whole universe Is becoming his. Only from above, so to speak, can you really enjoy the world and human life. Only when. you have overcome can you really live. — Herbert Gray. ' ' ' ~ it
