Principles and Practices - August 20

The Highest Motive

The ordinary disposition of the will varies greatly in different people. In him who is filled with divine love the habitual disposition is a fixed determination to live only for God and to concede nothing to nature but that which God per­mits, and which is necessary for the fulfilment of his duties.

-Saudreau-Bidwell.
