" Mere things―however costly or lovely in themselves―cannot meet the real needs of the soul. The heart was made for God, and He alone can fill it. Self’s enjoyment of the joys of this earth leaves naught but emptiness behind. The thirst of the soul cannot be quenched by the cisterns of this world. Gold can purchase nothing but what proves to be vanity. Christ alone “satisfieth the longing soul” (Psa 107:9). "
