A Beaten Track
Jeremiah 31:9
They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them…


Here there is a well-beaten track under our feet. Let us keep it. It may not be quite the shortest way; it may not take us through all the grandeur and sublimity which bolder pedestrians might see: we may miss a picturesque waterfall, a remarkable glacier, a charming view: but the track will bring us safe to our quarters for the night.

(R. W. Dale, M. A.)
