Excerpt from Rills From the Fountain of Life: Or, Sermons to ChildrenThe question any one feels tempted to ask on reading these words is, Whose ways are here Spoken of? Now, if we look at the thirteenth verse of this chapter, we find that the person intended here is Wisdom. In the Bible, when Wisdom is spoken Of as a person, it always means true Religion. And SO we find that it is Religion of which Solomon is speaking when he says, Her ways are ways Of pleasantness, &c.The Bible tells us of two great roads, or ways in which the people Of this world are walking. One of these is the world's way, or the way Of sin; the other is Wisdom's way, or the way of Religion. One Of these is called the broad way, and multitudes are always thronging it; the other 1s called the na1 row way, and but few are found to travel it. In the language of the hymn, Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there, But Wisdom Shows a narrow path, With here and there a traveller.Now, there are six things which help to make a road pleasant to those who travel it, and all these are found in Wisdom's ways.

The first thing which makes a way pleasant is to have a safe guide.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
