I hold a Philosophy which, briefly expressed, is this — that in all human affairs that which happens is always for the best. This is no fatalism, no blind belief in the inevitableness of predestined events; it is, on the contrary, a practical working faith in the Providence which directs our ends. The ways and methods of Providence may not often be visible in their unfolds ing, but to those who know how to wait and to work, the final result is always sure. Man is no mere sense less tool — he is a Workman — and Circumstances; whether good or ill,' are the tools with which he must work. And He who made the Workman knows also how to direct the work, and to supply those tools which are necessary, so that they shall not fail the Workman at his need. But, for his part, the Workman must needs work according to the immutable laws of his trade, lest his tools be broken and his labour vain.
