Australia -- Social life and customs -- Fiction; Melbourne (Vic.) -- Fiction; Young women -- Fiction
Like many other questions that trouble us in this world, wherein nothing
seems quite right and nothing altogether wrong, we are constrained to
leave it for the history of future ages, that we shall never see, to
answer.
Knowing only what we know, we must not say "yes"--we cannot say "no." We
have not sufficient light for any such generalities.
But when one finds this unique treasure of human life, to whom it is,
with respect to his tangible earthly possessions, what the pearl of
great price was to the merchantman of Scripture, there seems no better
thing for him to do than to sell all that he has to buy it, so long as
he sells only what is absolutely his own, and none of the rights and
privileges that belong to other people.
THE END.
