They carried the knowledge of his name, and tales of his imaginary interpositions, to all the places that they visited; and thus the fame of the god became extended, first, to all the coasts of the Euxine Sea, and subsequently to distant provinces and kingdoms. The Serapis of Sinope began to be considered every where as the tutelar god of seamen.
In these cases the interpositions deemed proper on our part have not been omitted.
Remember the interpositions of God to supply the necessities of the destitute. Go to Egypt and Canaan, and trace the wonderful appointments of that providence which supplied the famished household of Jacob!

He was actually a little touched by Mrs Trumbler's way of looking at the world; he did think and confessed it to Janie that there was something very remarkable in the way Harry Tristram had been cleared from his path. He was in no sense an advanced thinker, and people in love are apt to believe in what are called interpositions.
He did not more constantly feel his need of faith and prayer than his duty and privilege of abounding joy and praise. Some might think that, after such experiences of answered prayer, one would be less and less moved by them, as the novelty was lost in the uniformity of such interpositions. But no.
