Don't let the multitude of things in which you are interested, the maze
of contradiction, the abstract facts, the trials and hardships of life,
the pleasures you love, or any other thing make you pass Him by. If you
gain everything else in life and miss Him you will fail to know what
life means. If you find Him you will find Love and that is the best
thing life can give.

THE GLORY OF THE CLIMAX
So many miss it. It is more than duty but the path that leads to the
glory of it often begins with the plain, insistent, _ought_ of duty. It
is more than obedience, though without obedience none ever find it. How
many girls there are who are disappointed, dissatisfied, suffering
perhaps in body and soul because they never learned to obey! It is a
great thing to be able to hear "you ought" and then at whatever cost to
_obey_ it. But the climax is not found in these things great as they
are.
Faithful servants of a religion whose law is duty one finds among girls
and honors them. Good and faithful servants of a religion whose law is
obedience there are among girls. But neither of these have found the
glory of the climax. The climax is Love. The supreme command of the
Founder of true religion is--Thou shalt Love.
The religion of love is a girl's religion and she can never be
satisfied with any other.
