The Golden Gems of Life: Or, Gathered Jewels for the Home Circle (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Golden Gems of Life: Or, Gathered Jewels for the Home Circle

It is a thing above professions, callings, and creeds. It is a thing which brings to its nourishment all good, and appropriates to its development of power all evil. It is the greatest and best thing under the whole heavens. Place can not enhance its honor; wealth can not add to its value. Lts course lies through true manhood and womanhood; through true father hood and motherhood; through true friendship and relationship of all legitimate kinds-of all natural sorts whatever. It lies through sorrow and pain and poverty and all earthly discipline. It lies through unswerving trust in God and man. It lies through patient and self-denying heroism. It lies though all heaven prescribed and conscientious duty; and it leads as straight to heaven's brightest gate as the path of a sunbeam leads to the bosom of a flower.
