CONTENTED, YET NOT SATISFIED.
By Editor
CONTENTMENT is a Christian duty; satisfaction is not. Being contented is accepting one's present assigned place of toil and influence as in the ordering of God's providence. Being satisfied is taking it for granted that God has nothing better in store for one in the opening future. It is proper to be contented for the moment, but not to be satisfied for all time to come. As Robertson says, "Man's destiny is not to be dissatisfied, but forever unsatisfied." Let us therefore be ever unsatisfied while ever contented."—S. S. Times.
