The Propriety of Acknowledging the Lord in All Our Ways: The Baccalaureate Sermon; Preached Before the College of New Jersey, June 16th, 1878 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Propriety of Acknowledging the Lord in All Our Ways: The Baccalaureate Sermon; Preached Before the College of New Jersey, June 16th, 1878
There are the professional walks anxiously regard ed by thoughtful youths: the learned professions, busmess, farming, travel, literature, science, the pas toral, the missionary office. There are the various motives and ends seen at a distance, which would lead you to enter these walks, such as wealth, fame, fash ion, usefulness in the church or world. Some set one of these aims before them and pursue it eagerly. Most mingle more or fewer of these ends in all kinds of ill-assorted and undefined proportions, leading to very incongruous lives.
There are ways before you which lead through time into eternity, and through eternity itself. There IS the wide gate, and many gomg in thereat, number of paths going out from it: the path 0 ure with flowers on either side; and the path of am bitiou with promised crowns apparently ready to be placed on your brow; but with the issues carefully concealed, the dismal swamps, the deserts strewn with the carcasses of slain reputations, and the end of the whole everlasting darkness. There is the strait gate where you have to leave your Sins be hind you, that you may go unburdened with a prosa peet ever becoming more pleasant under a shaded avenue, and ever and anon opening to you glimpses of the city which hath foundations. These two gates are before you you must enter one or the other. Choose ye this day which ye will take.
