Compensation.

On n lower plane of action, 1t Is the
reluctant, not the eager, whom we urge
by promises Of reward. Who would
think of paying a man to do what he
was yearning to do already? For in
stance, no one would hire hungry
man to eat, or thirsty man to drink
or n mother to nurse her own child
Who would think of bribing farmer
TO dress his own vineyard, or to dig
about his orchard, or to rebuild his
house? So, all the more, one whc
loves God truly asks no other com
pensation than God himself; for If he
should demand something else, u
would be the prize TINT he loved, ana
not God.-Bernard Of Clalrvaux.
