ERSKINE MASON American clergyman (1805 - 1881) A life of passionate gratification is not to be compared with a life of active benevolence. God has so constituted our nature that a man cannot be happy unless he is, or thinks he is, a means of good. Judging from our own experience, we cannot conceive of a picture of more unutterable wretchedness than is furnished by one who knows that he is wholly useless in the world.       - [Benevolence] Last Revised: 2009 April 2 Copyright © 1999-2009 John C.
