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 ways before you which lead through time into eternity, and through eternity itself. There is the wide gate, and many going in thereat, with a number Of paths going out from it: the path of pleas ure with flowers on either side; and the path Of am bition 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 pros 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.

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
IT is very interesting to look on a company of young people, such as I now see before me. We shall find that the wise man has some lessons to them.
I.
Let us look at the many ways before the young. As the sky bends all around him, the boy regards his father's house as the center of the world, and in a sense it is so to him as is every other spot in which he may be. In a like way every man's present position, rather than the past or the future, is the center of his world - his sky bends all around it. The whole of his past has come down to it; his future starts from it. All the roads lead to it; all the roads go put from it. In the metropolis of this country the streets go out toward the various States.
