There is much in our lives not intended for us to comprehend or explain; but, believing that nothing happens by chance, and that our forefathers have done their duty in the place it had pleased God to call them, let us cherish their memory, and remember that the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. "For he who rules each wondrous star, And marks the feeble sparrow's fall, Controls the destiny of man, And guides events however small. "Man's place of birth, his home, his friends, Are planned and fixed by God alone-- 'Life's lot is cast'--e'en death he sends For some wise purpose of his own." THE END.
