Proverbs 12:28 - Homilies By E. Johnson

6. The straight road and the bypath

I. RECTITUDE MAY BE COMPARED TO A STRAIGHT ROAD . It has a definite beginning, a clearly marked course, a happy termination.

II. ALL IMMORALITY AND IRRELIGION MAY BE COMPARED TO BYPATHS . See Bunyan's Bypath Meadow in 'Pilgrim's Progress.'

III. LIFE AND DEATH ARE THE TWO GREAT TERMINI . All the more impressive because we know not what they contain of blissful or of dread meaning: "Behold, I set before you life and death!" is the constant cry of wisdom, of every true teacher, of the unchanging gospel.—J.
