cred an instructive address
THE MYSTERIOUS POWER OF THE DIVINE WILL,
anu the manifold and simple methods by which the
same Is frequently manifested. The human mind Ia
snbect to many changes, and on referring former
frequently, when young, were we not terrned at the
fdea OF passing through graveyard or going into q
dark church at night Still, after years these
fears disappear. There Is even a time when man
fances that he knows all 4; but this, even changes,
ana, Notwithstanding me era oil progress that
are now existing IN and the marvellous Inventions
mat surround Us, still we become convinced that
there Is greater Power whose ways we cannot
fath0m. Many console themselves that they
ARE SMART ESoUGH
ana That they can hide their doings and thoughts,
but time does come when man finds all ms theo,
res shattered and dispersed. He eventually becomes
aware that there IL a hidden Power that surrounds
nam, WIN ears and eyes and from which nothing
can be Kept secret.
The pastor here gave several illustrations OF the
convincing power 9i The Almighty In bringing facts
nad an only daughter, the pride Of hts heart, who
enjoyed all the uXures Of wealth and elevated posi-
ton. malignant fever was raging 10 London, but
was not Thought much OF, because IT
MERELY RACED AMONG THE LABoRING CLASSES,
and In certain densely inhabited Heighborfoods.
SIR Robert ordered "a magnificent riding habit from
one OF the most aristocratic J0,UntSSetTs OF
tue day. The day after his daughter had
worn II she was stricken down with
the fever and died. How could that be
possble2 ana still it occurred. on tracing
the facts 1t was discovered that this great
mouse gave the work out to poor women at such
miserable rates OF pay that they coula not remove
nom the abodes OF the most abec misery. The hus-
IN hts last moments she had nothing left TO cover
MIN but the wealthy ady's riding habit. The young
proud daughter OF one OF England's mighliest men
died OF the poor mans fever, and so
SPOKE THE VOICE OF THE ALMIGHTY.
Many persons attribute these marvellous events to
mere chance but such ID an erroneous dea, and, TO
use vulgar expression, murder win Out.n The
spots OF blood cannot be ef1aced. Even the horrors
OF the indusitfon were brought to light that the
world might learn the fearful crimes that had been
doctrines OF the Church. Far from being the work
OF mere chance these are the direct action al
the Divine VIII, who thus ordains 1t, and always
pnas an agent W carry out his desire.
