THE HIDDEN HAND.
By Henry F. Cope

ny denrV r. Cope.
He knoweth the way that | take
when he hath tried me | shall come
forth as gold. Job xiii 10.
Job was too we'll learned in the
school of pain to adopt the modern
shallow philosophy of Providence which
says the Almighty loves men so much
that he will feed them all through life
with a spoon, and carry them in his
arms lest they stumble in its rough
way. He did not even stop to consider
the possibility of God putting the
brakes on nature in order to avoid run
ming over some one in the road.
He sees in the world all order so wise
and benefcent it does not have to he
changed in order to secure the greatest
good of any. The wisdom that sets the
stars in their courses planned all for
the production Of the best in man.
Providence is not an interference with
nature; 1t is the plan of nature itself.
Man is not in this world fighting
against the order of things. If he is
wise he is learning their laws and fit
ting into them.
Providence is seen not in the excep-
tional, but in the normal; not in a
hand that intervenes, but in the mighty
love that ordered all things from the
beginning. so that they are working,
nightly, mysteriously, together for
good. The tears, losses, great sorrows,
incomprehensible catastrophies, all
prove the wisdom and love that lies
back Of all.
Nor is this attitude mere blind sub
mission to unreasoning force. The in
finite program for the perfection Of
spirits was born Of an infinite spirit.
Over all is the life in which we alone
find rest, the life to which our inner
life answer so that we say, Father.
Not a God who can come from with
out into this world and Interfere on
our behalf but he who knows the way
we have to take because it is part Of his
being.
In this a man can rest, living his
life, seeking the best, learning his les
son, suffering the fire and the blast
for the sake Of the product at the end.
Faith is this confidence in the love
