EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon byRev. II. Preston
The laws of the kingdom of nature
God has in part spread before us for
our study, and in that field is leading
mankind continually into the deeper
recesses of His counsels.
There is, however, another depart
ment, where it would seem knowledge
cannot be reduced to simple laws,
where everything is complicated, and
the future is hidden from the fore
sight of man.
There is a feature of life where the
plan of the great Ruler and the plans
of countless finite beings run across
one another, where the creatures of
God are influencing, changing and
thwarting one another in manifold
ways.
Where there are SO many agents, so
many interactions, there is created a
confusion and complication which
none but infinite skill can disentangle
the result of which only God can for
see.
In the providence Of individual eff
