To live to the world is like playing with boys in the street for halfpence, or with babes for bits of platter and oyster shells. Life for God is real and substantial, but all else is waste. Let us think so, and gird up our loins to serve the Lord. May the divine Spirit help us to sow “the principal wheat,” and to live in joyful expectation of reaping a happy harvest according to the promise, “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” https://thepilgrimjournal.com/the-principal-wheat/
