The social philosophy of this school can not answer these questions, I think; nor can it meet the appeal we all make to history when we cite the names of Aristotle, Pascal, and Newton, or of any of the men who single-handed and alone have set guide-posts to history, and given to the world large portions of its heritage of truth.
One man tells me it is to the east, another to the west; and the guide-posts, too, they all point the wrong way. 'But will you not stop and rest? said I; 'you seem wet and weary. 'Yes, said he, 'it has been foul weather since I left home. 'Stop, then, and refresh yourself. 'I must not stop, I must reach home to-night, if possible, though I think you must be mistaken in the distance to Boston. He then gave the reins to his horse, which he restrained with difficulty, and disappeared in a moment.
But now that the sunshine had proved a cruel cheat, she ran back in dismay upon the old guide-posts, and they pointed to a hell indeed. She had been wicked. She craved to be good. She remembered Mary Magdalene, whom Christ had forgiven, and caught at a hope for herself. But why had Christ forgiven Mary? Because she had been sorry, and turned and walked the rest of her life in goodness?
Not until the architect represented that it was unworthy of a Didymus to expose to bestial violence a life on which helpless women and the whole world to whom his writings were guide-posts to the realms of truth possessed a claim, could he be induced to yield.
They are now offered simply as suggestions on which the Masonic student may ponder. They are but intended as guide-posts, which may direct him in his journey should he undertake the pleasant although difficult task of instituting an inquiry into the origin and progress of Freemasonry from its birth to its present state of full-grown manhood.
Yet when Trenholme actually repaired to the station at the hour at which Captain Rexford had announced his arrival, it was a fact that many of his leisure thoughts for a month back had been pointing forward, like so many guide-posts, to the meeting that was there to take place, and it was also true that the Rexford family older and younger were prepared to hail him as a friend, simply because their knowledge of him, though slight, was so much greater than of any other being in the place to which they were come and everything in this world goes by comparison.
Why burning fire and candle light in the morning, when everything was cold and dreary, should look so much more virtuous and heroic than sitting up awhile at night when the house was warm and everything pleasant, is one of the mysteries to be solved only by the firm belief that the easy, comfortable moments were the seasons especially susceptible to temptation, and that sacrifice and austerity were the guide-posts on the narrow way to right living.
The studying of guide-posts is not an amusing occupation, but it is infinitely less tedious than to wander around all day in a fog and perhaps miss one's destination altogether. "It is, indeed, a small world as we know it to-day. It may be so, but the issue is not of practical importance, seeing that there are none who care to make adventure of the great salty gulf that lies between.
They err who think of God's commandments as grievous burdens; they are merciful guide-posts. They do not so much lay weights on our backs as give light to our eyes.
No ... I can hardly say. He seemed changed. Or perhaps I only imagined that. Perhaps he really is very ill." Another long silence ensued. Harboro was searching in a thousand dark places for the cause of her abnormal condition. There were no guide-posts. He did not know Sylvia's father. He knew nothing about the life she had led with him.
