tuklnR lOr MS text tho 231 Psalm of David
.,rhe Lord is my shepherd, | shall not want.
de maketh me TO lie down in green pastures
he leadeth me beside the still waters. He re.
storeth my soul, he leadeth me in the paths OF
righteousness for his names sake. Yea, though
walk through tho valley Of the shudow OF
death, will fear no evil for thou art with
me my rod and thy staff they comfort me.
rhou preparest table before me, in the pres
ence OF mine enem Us, thou auuointest mine
nead with oil my cup runneth over. Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all the
DAYS OF my life and 1 will dwell In the
mouse oil the Lord for ever" He remark
ga That the PSalmlst Is understood, aud no
doubt correctly, to express strong conf
dence In the protection and grace of God. He
says, "Tle rerd Is mtNshepherd.' Every one
knows tLAt tho 6fAeeSa. shepherd is to watch

That God Is the author and 9reator of the
worlds and all that in them is, and they were
at his disposal. The idea Of Providence is
that OIL sveing over or seeing for. Overseeing
implies care, supervision and government. The
IDEA OF preservation involves three things, LIST.
Furnishing supplies, I'd. Protection iu the en-
Joyment OF them, so that tbs end In view may
be realized. The other idea OF Providence is
government. 1t Is the office OF Providence,
| while II protects, to govern, &c. After this
preface he proceeded TO remark: On the truths,
nature and harmony OF Divine Providence, and
| remarked that If he were asked to give
distinct and definite answer In regard to the
distinctive feature of the Bible he would say
that tpe scriptures We're record of God s
| Providence over the world. He alluded to the
l faI
| and other notable characters and asserted that
| any man who rejects the Proyidcnccs of God,
| REJECTS tho word OF God. BY tho arguments
which prove the existence of God We prove the
providence Of God. Itwonld be utterly absurd

from them. No human being could tolerate

ture, the experience of all in tho affairs of life,
and declared that tho history of man was but a
record Of divine provldences. He referred to
the wreck OF the Central America on the 18th
of September. When she had left her / eight

from a watery grave. There is a God who
rules the destinies OF nations and of indiyid-
uais. bespoke Of the different kinds of Prov
oences General and particular providence
active and pernlssive direct and indirect,
natural ana supernatural or miraculous, retri-
