Autobiographical Sketches and Personal Recollections (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Nil Desperandum: The Writer's Motto Adopted in Youth
A little boy sat in front of his father, and held the reins that con trolled a restive horse. Unknown to the boy, the reins passed around him and were alsci in his father's hands. He saw an occasion to pull them. With artless simplicity the child looked around, saying, 'father, I thought I was driving; but I am'not, am I Thus it is often with men who think they are shaping a destiny which a higher hand than theirs is really directing. They do their own will because it is also the will of God. A stronger hand guides them a mightier power holds the helm of their vessel, and saves from rock and wreck.
Happy are they who yield to the guidance of the Almighty hand.
