"When iron is moved and powerfully attracted, we assume that a magnet is present, though we may not see it; and, in the same way, our unreasoning craving for future happiness proves its existence. Everything shows us that human happiness, being as it is short-lived, uncertain, and ready to vanish at any moment, however solid it may appear, cannot be the final end which God had in view at our creation. His greatness, as our own inner consciousness tells us, is incompatible with so poor and wretched and aim. A love that is all-powerful, as is His love for us, must needs have in store for us gifts far beyond those that this world can offer, and glory far exceeding the gloom that now surrounds us."
