I am a derivative of alcohol, the one and infallible argument against temperance, Miss Knight. In me you behold the shining example of all that puts the reformer to rout and gladdens the heart of the cafe-keeper." "You talk as if you were always drunk." "Oh not always.
Catharine lifts the wooden latch, and steps in the embers are nearly burned out, to a handful of grey ashes old Wolfe is not there all is silent and Catharine sits down to still the beating of her heart and await the coming up of her slower companions, and gladdens her mind with the hope that her brother and Louis will soon be home her eye wanders over every old familiar object all things seem much as she had left them, only the maize is in the ear and the top feather waves gracefully with the summer breeze it promises an abundant crop; but that harvest is not to be gathered by the hands of the young planters it was left to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field to those humble reapers who sow not, neither do they gather into barns, for their Heavenly Father feedeth them.
That work is a necessity arising from the nature of God. It is foreign to His heart but not to His nature. God is both 'the light of Israel' for blessing, and 'a consuming fire.
