Was it an oversight in him to leave it in my way, or could he have intended to lead my curiosity and knowledge a little farther onward by this accidental disclosure?

What an amazing disclosure will this be of the wisdom and love with which our gracious Lord has assigned to each servant his lot, given to each "his work," and so prepared all things for him in the world, and so made all things work together for his good, that "the fruit has been holiness, and the end everlasting life!"
