Restless souls seek a divine destiny beyond invention
By Earl L. Douglass taking, and no one person except myself. I am doing this because I am fed up with inventing devices for getting through twenty-four hours a day. is This was the testimony of a man whom the world admired and called successful. But he acknowledged no external code and could not impress upon himself any satisfactory inner code in place of the external. He flitted through life and, being neither a bird nor a butterfly, life called upon him. Man is more than an animal. He is a creature to whom God has appointed a destiny. And there can be no happiness unless he achieves that destiny. 'Thou has fashioned us for thyself, O God, and our souls are restless till they find their rest in thee."
