They call a meeting of the days and
Anna Domino sits in the chair. 1t is a
large meeting of peculiar days, taking
the whole range from New Years day to
Xmas day.
But the story contains much more

There runs deeper meaning through
it all, appearing in many happy touches

Although this subject is one of the
oldest in all theology, DR. Faunce has
it. He makes no attempt to solve all
the mysteries of Providence He even
holds that mystery in part, during this
present life, is itself a providentiaf ar
rangement; giving, as it does, room for
trustfulness and incentive to courage.
But there are some very serious misun-
derstandings which make for men
needless and harmless mystery; and the
attempt is made to lift some of these
denser shadows which are cast more by
our human mistake than by anything

The more nearly we can come into the
position where we see things as through
the eye Of God, the clearer and wider
will be our vision. And though in any
world enough must be hidden from the
finite TO call for trustfuIness in the In
finite One, yet on the other hand we
ought to know all we can about the
leadings Of the Divine providence in
human affairs.
