07.01.01.C. In Want

C. IN WANT No wonder when these things were wasted that "he began to be in want." When one loses those God given virtues or characteristics which go to make real manhood, he may possess the whole of a father’s fortune and yet have a lack and a "want" in his soul that "no man" can supply. Dropped by the crowd, which always occurs when one is down, he hires to a farmer to feed swine, and thus to meet his physical needs, but the wages were so small that "he would fain have filled himself with the husks that the swine did eat and no man gave unto him."
