THE RUGGED ROAD OF NAZARETH T radition declares this rock y cactus lined road to have been the favorite pathway o f our Lord. Away from the duties o f the carpenter shop, up the steep hillside He is said frequently to have gone for meditation and prayer. The somber tones o f the picture seem truthfully to reflect the conditions surrounding the Saviour’s earthly life. But behind these storm clouds there shines the gloriou s sun. So our Lord could not be permanently wrapped in the mantle o f H is earthly gloom , but is now ascended into the all glorious Presence. H aving trodden the way o f pain alone, that He m ight succor those who put their trust in Him, He w ill eventually usher us also into the realm of eternal day.
