Then a line of one of those Sunday-school hymns floated across her mind "Oh, Thou that changest not" And the thought of Miss Ethel on the stairs with that heavy pail in her hand. But the thoughts passed so quickly that Laura had not noticed the pause. "I like to fancy Miss Ethel in a place where things don't change.
Engine and tool of the Almighty, whose years cannot fade, thou changest the earth as a garment, and as a vesture it is changed; thou makest it one vast sepulchre and womb united, swallowing and creating life! and reproducing, over and over, from age to age, from the birth of creation to the creation's doom, the same dust and atoms which were our fathers, and which are the sole heirlooms that through countless generations they bequeath and perpetuate to their sons.
"For, surely, the mountain, falling, cometh to nought; The rock is remored out of his place; The waters wear the stones; Thou washest away the things that grow out of the earth, And thou destroyest the hopes of man; Thou prevailest against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away."
The sound of the old hymn, that had been his children's lullaby, arrested John McIntyre on the brink of self-destruction: "Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day, Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away, Change and decay in all around I see, O Thou, who changest not, abide with me!" A trembling weakness seized him. He shrank back against the heap of logs.
And surely the mountains falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place. The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man. Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
