Excerpt from New Starts in Life: And Other Sermons A man has faded out Of the real happiness and strength Of life who does not know what that exhila ration is, who does not feel the brightness of the picture which this verse draws. It is sad indeed when any man comes to that state in which each new day does not seem in some true sense to begin the world anew, recalling every departed hope and brightening every faded color Of the night before. There is a human instinct which tells us that our life, while it is meant to have a great continuousness and to be always one, is no less meant to be full of new starts, to be ever refreshing its forces and be ginning once again. The true proportion between these two feelings, between the sense Oi continuity and the sense Of ever new beginning, makes the fin est, the freshest, and the primest life. We may picture to ourselves two rivers Of wholly different kinds. One is a great, broad, quiet stream, ever moving swiftly but smoothly on, unbroken by rapids, majestic in its calm and noble monotony, each mile Of its great course seeming like every other mile, so perfectly and evidently is it everywhere itself. Its great thought is continuity. The other river is a mountain torrent. Broken and stopped perpetually. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
