Proverbs 15:6 - Homilies By E. Johnson

True and false gains

I. A MAN MAY RE POOR , YET POSSESS ALL THINGS . ( 2 Corinthians 6:10 .) Deus meus, et omnia!

II. A MAN MAY BE RICH , YET DESTITUTE , POOR , BLIND , AND MISERABLE . If we are not satisfied, we are not rich. If we are content, we are never poor.

III. GOD IS THE TRUE AND ONLY GAIN OF THE SOUL . We have a nature which will be satisfied with nothing short of the Infinite. To attempt to feed it with anything less is found to be a cheat and a self-delusion.—J.
