Earthly vanities can never satisfy the enlarged
desires of an immortal soul. This is the reason
why worldly people are so restless and changeable.
Temporal objects soon cloy and satiate, therefore
worldlings fly from flower to flower like
vagrant
butterflies--until death closes
their idle chase
after an unreal happiness!
Did they possess true wisdom, they would
discover the source of true felicity.
Christ and happiness are inseparable. If we
find true happiness, it is because we have
found Christ; for . . .
the pardon of sin,
peace with God,
purity of heart, and
the hope of glory,
cannot fail to render the believer blessed.
