Bulwer Lytton???s Bridge.
Whore It Touches the Shores and the
Great Columns In Midstream.
What a beautiful bridge between old age and
childhood U religion. How intuitively the child
begins with prayer and worship on entering life,
and how intuitively, on quitting life, the old man
turns back to prayer and worship, putting himself
again side by side with the Infant." remarks Sir E.
Bulwer Lytton. in hfs "Strange Story.???
Yes, but between its distant abutments the
bridge of life has many high and awful arches,
through which the wild waters dash and roar In
wrath and desolation. Prayer and worship alone
not sustain these. Nature's solid rocks must
lie unshaken beneath, and human art and skill
must rear and aolidify the structure overhead.
God's will is best exemplified hi the laws lie has
made for the creatures whom lie ha* placed under
their control. Neither the child's trustful "Our
Father." nor the old man???s "Koiget me not in the
midst of mine Infirmities," will alter this by the
