NEVER SATISFIED.

"Johnny, come here," said Dr. Fry to his little boy, who was playing on the carpet in the dining-room; "here is an apple for you."
It was so large that he could hardly grasp it. Dr. Fry then gave him another apple which filled the other hand.
"Here is another," said he, giving the child a third.
Little Johnny tried hard to hold it between the other two, but could not succeed; it rolled away across the floor. On seeing this, he burst into tears.
"See," said Dr. Fry to a lady who was present, "here is a child with more than he can enjoy, and yet not satisfied. My child is just like us all. We are ever seeking to possess more and more of the world's treasures, and yet we are never satisfied. Oh! that we were equally in earnest in 'grasping' the promise of the gospel."
