Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Importance of Virtuous Habit in Young Men, and the Means by Which They May Be Attained: A Discourse; Delivered in the College Chapel to the Graduating Class, May 14, 1854 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word. - Psalm cxix. 9. In every human enterprise it is important to begin well. And in no case is this remark more appropriate than in the journey of human life. A wrong step in the commencement generally gives direction to the whole future course. And if after we have proceeded some distance in the wrong way, we attempt to retrace our steps, the effort will be attended with great difficulty, and much time and labor will be lost in regaining the right road. In forming a plan of future conduct, two things demand the utmost attention of every young man. First, the object at which he should aim, and next, the means necessary to secure it. In our text the Psalmist suggests an object worthy the attention of every individual, and especially of the young, and he points out the means by which it may be attained. ´Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.´ To cleanse his way, is the object. Taking heed to his way according to the word of God, is the means. To the consideration of these two points, we at this time invite your attention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
