Friendship is good, but love is better, and he cannot satisfy himself with the one, but must also have the other. The respect of his fellows is good, but self-respect and a pure conscience are better. Human love is a goodly pearl, but this only quickens him to crave insatiably for the love of God. He must always have what is beyond and best. He refuses to believe that God has AND THE PKARL OF PRICE. lOI created us to be partially satisfied, happy at intervals, content with effort, believing our...selves blessed, disguising the reality of our condition by the aid of fancy, or fleeing from it on the wings of hope, but to be partakers of His own blessedness, and to enjoy eternally the suffi- ciency of Him in whom are all things. This spirit of expectation is encouraged by the parable. It seems to say to us. Covet earnestly the best gifts. Never make up your mind merely to endure or merely to be resigned. Test what you have, and if it do not satisfy you wholly, seek for something better. It is not for you w^ho have a God, a God of infinite resource and of infinite love, to accustom your- selves to merely negative blessings and doubt- ful, limited conditions.
