The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.—PROV. XVI, 33.

Leave God to order all thy ways,

And hope in Him, whate'er betide.

Thou'lt find Him in the evil days

Thy all-sufficient strength and guide:

Who trusts in God's unchanging love,

Builds on the rock that naught can move.

G. NEUMARCK.

Give up yourself to God without reserve; in singleness of heart, meeting everything that every day brings forth, as something that comes from God, and is to be received and gone through by you, in such an heavenly use of it, as you would suppose the holy Jesus would have done in such occurrences. This is an attainable degree of perfection.

WILLIAM LAW.

Do not despise your situation; in it you must act, suffer, and conquer. From every point on earth we are equally near to heaven and to the infinite.

HENRI FREDERIC AMIEL.

Every lot is happy to a person who bears it with tranquillity.

BOETHIUS.
