He said;
HHistory, when rightly written, Is a. record
of providence, and he who would read his
tory correctly must read II with his ewes con-
stantly fixed on the hand Of God. Every
| change, every revolution in human affairs, Is
in the mind of God a contamination OF the
| great work of redemption. Unrol the nap
| of history where you may, and II will present
the wonder working hand OF God. The hand
| of God swept a naughty nation from earth
and leveled the walls OF proud Jericho with
| the dust, The hand of God was discernible
in the discovery OF America and in the Re-
| formation of the sixteenth century. 1t is
| strikingly visible in the great revolutionary
struggle. Again we see the rand Of God
