“The lighter forms of joy, when they involve no sin, need not be banished from our life—bodily recreation, social mirth, lively books and lively conversation. But their place will be secondary; the great fountain will be Christ’s fountain. Nay, we will be jealous over ourselves with godly jealousy, lest we so drink of lighter joys of life as to spoil our relish for the deeper river that makes glad the city of our God.” - William Garden Blaikie, Glimpses of the Inner Life of our Lord, 98.
