The pathway of life ; Intended to lead the young and the old into paths of happiness, and to prepare them for a holy companionship with him whose kingdom is as boundless as his love . GROTTO IN TH]i LUXivMBOURG (491) 492 THE PATHWAY OF I^IFK. down. Not so much like morning-glories, that bloom only when the sun iscoming up, nor like four-oclocks, that bloom only when the sun is goingdown, but like myrrh, perpetually aromatic—the same morning, noon, and night—yesterday, to-day, forever. It seems as if we cannot wear Him out. We put onHim all our burdens, and afflict Him with all our griefs, and set Him foremost inall our battles, and yet He is ready to lift, and to sympathize, and to help. Wehave so imposed upon Him that one would think in eternal affront He would quitour soul; and yet He addresses us with the same tenderness, dawns upon us wuththe same smile, pities us with the same compassion. There is no name like Hisfor us. It is more imperial than Caesars, more musical than Beethovens, moreconquering than Charlemagnes, more eloquent than Ciceros. It throbs with alllife. It weeps with all pathos. It groans with all pain. It stoops with all con-descension. It breathes with all perfume.
