The Way

By Eliza H. Morton

THE cry of many a heart is:

"Show me the way to that calm, perfect peace Which springs from an inward consciousness of right; To where the conflicts with the flesh shall cease, And self shall radiate with the Spirit's light. Though hard the journey and the strife, I pray, Show me the way."

The way is plainly marked out in God's word. Jesus says, "I am the way." That way is perfect. We are to wait on the Lord, and keep His way, for it is the way of life. It is the way of holiness, the way of God's commandments. There is "a way not cast up." Jer. 18: 15. It is the traditions of men. The message for to-day is, "Cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people." Isa. 62: 10. The standard is God's law. Who will rally around it? Who will gather out the stones of offense, and build up the old waste places? Isa. 58: 12, 13. Those who do this, will have great peace. Ps. 119: 165.
