Gods Providence.

Nothing so helps the unfortunate to bear
their burdens as belief that those bur
dens are a part of the providence of the
world, and come to them with purpose and
design, and, although not easy to bear
now, have a future benefit not only to
themselves, but to the whole universe at
large. This belief begets a spirit of
humility which in itself gives the
strength to bear more than half of the
hard load for with its coming departs all
that defiance, all that fighting with fate
which is as useless as it is desperate And
with the willing spirit of humility comes
also a capacity for reliance and trust for
dependence on supreme and fatherly care
that makes all pain seem lighter than it
could otherwise, and that gives one all the
satisfaction that the little child has when
sobbing out its grief after any hurt upon
a mother S breast 1t is a tremendous
thing for one topossess this sense of the
fatherhood and providence of the power
that rules the universe; one who has it flIi-
ly ceases TO struggle, rests in the divine
arms. and no matter what deprivation,
effort, loss or sorrow comes, that person
remains satisfied with the divine viii, sees
the sun behind the shadow, feels that grief
things are eternal, and finds it easier to
endure with that help, as if one were car
ried over on strong wings.
But one who does not possess this faith
in Gods proviC ence has the woes of the
world so far as they affect one's sell to
carry all alone, has to fight with the sun
in the face, has a burden under which
the giants of old would have staggered.
The folly and futility of the efforts are as
certain as if one undertook to make a
world ones self, or to hold it in correla-
ton with the other worlds. 1t ends either
in a stony Indifference that has its con-
sequence in an equal Indifference to pleas
ure and satisfaction, so that if one no
longer suffers, neither does one any longer
enjoy. or else in madness. The moment
that the effort is surrendered comes peace.
comes absolute abandonment of ones self
reliance and resistances, comes Completest
surrender to the all-surroundlng power, in
which alone is recOmpense for trouble or
hope of relief That disbelieve in God s
providence Is no wiser than they that be-
lieve in it; they themselves openly declare
that they do not believe because they do
not know, and they certainly are no hap
pier Thus 1t seems Self-evIdence that IN
the beginning of misfortune to be able to
experience not only non-resistance and
submission to fate, but acquiescence and
loving trust, is the part of religion and
duty. to be sure but that it also. in view
of its capacity of producing comfort and
happiness, the part of worldly wisdom

the part of the teacher, who should also
show confidence in the pupils honesty.
