Here the poor man could forbear no longer, but raised her up, made her kneel by him, and he prayed to God aloud to instruct her in the knowledge of Himself, by His Spirit; and that by some good providence, if possible, she might, some time or other, come to have a Bible, that she might read the word of God, and be taught by it to know Him.
When the spirit of the world refuses to go out at his word, he sometimes interferes as Ruler in providence, and tears out the intruder by his mighty hand: the kingdom of heaven that is "within you" also suffereth violence; and He who is most mighty comes sometimes with merciful strokes to take it by force. "Even so: come, Lord Jesus."
The Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will; and he never yet willed that a nation strong in means, and battling for the right, should be given over to a nation weak and battling for the wrong. Nations have their future reward and penalty in this world; and it is as certain as God lives, that Providence AND the heaviest battalions will prevail.
This particular "fruit" against whom Carmichael in his young uncharitableness especially raged, because he was more self-complacent and more illiterate than his fellows, married the daughter of a rich self-made man, and on the father's death developed a peculiar form of throat disease, which laid him aside from the active work of the ministry a mysterious providence, as he often explained but allowed him to enjoy life with a guarded satisfaction.
"Where am I to find the new commander who is to possess that greater ability which you believe to be required?" wrote Jefferson Davis in reply.

Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, my poor thanks are most gratefully offered." "Oh! Cousin Janet," said Alice, with her eyes full of tears, "why will you not go with us; your talking so makes me dread to part with you."
Oh, Mademoiselle Bathilde, you will be a countess, I tell you! and it is not too much for you. If Providence gave every one what they deserve, you would be a duchess, a princess, a queen, yes, queen of France; Madame de Maintenon was " "I would not be like her, Nanette." "I do not say like her; besides, it is not the king you love, mademoiselle." "I do not love any one, Nanette."
This was encouraging and old Gid proceeded: "I was just telling the Major of my splendid prospects for a bountiful crop this year, and I feel that with this blessing of Providence I shall soon be able to meet all my obligations. I saw our rector, Mr.
"That I were dead," I corrected her. "The verb 'to wish, implying uncertainty, should always be followed by the conditional mood." "You ought," said Robina, "to be thankful to Providence that you're not dead." "People are sorry when you're dead," said Veronica. "I suppose there's some bread-and-cheese in the house," suggested Dick.
Mrs. Harris afterwards died suddenly; upon which it was contrived by her other daughter and Mr. Murphy to make a new will, in which Mrs. Booth had a legacy of ten pound, and all the rest was given to the other. To this will, Murphy, myself, and the same third person, again set our hands." "Good Heaven! how wonderful is thy providence!" cries the doctor "Murphy, say you?"
