To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The freshness and buoyancy of youth evaporate like a mist, the vigor and energy of early manhood vanish and dry up like a feeble brook in the summer's drouth; the heavens look empty, the earth barren, and the hungry ravens of cruel want and black care are gathering over our heads, or follow our weary footprints, while we wander in quest of food and drink. Thus, life appears to us in the perspective of riper days. A lonely pil- grimage from the happy streams of youth, through the sorrowful disen...- 14 chant men t of manhood, to the emptiness of age and the dreary prospect of the grave. But is this vision a correct picture of life? Compressed between the border lines of a few years, is man's existence on earth but a brief dream and a long, weary struggle, to end in death? Is it then worth while to live at all, to continue this pilgrimage to the bitter end? The wonderful legend of the ancient Seer of Israel, to whose cheer- ful message of peace we listened yester eve, holds, under the thin dis- guise of story and miracle, the true answer to the questions which this day suggests; and in his blessing to the poor widow at whose door he begged for a refreshing drink of water and a morsel of bread, assuring her that for the sake of that gift the pitcher of meal shall not be finished, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, we hear the divine promise of a higher compensation for life's toil than weariness and death; we read the deeper meaning of this day's lesson of the fleetness of time.
