AS THE WISH OF A SUPERCILIOUS CURIOSITY, which seeks nothing more than a passing entertainment. II. AS THE EXPRESSION OF A WORLDLY DESIRE FOR KNOWLEDGE, which is only concerned about interesting information. III. AS THE EARNEST DESIRE OF THE SEEKER FOR SALVATION, who feels the need of spiritual instruction. Application to Church going, hearing sermons, reading books, etc. (K. Gerok.)
