 him ?" 



The lesson of faith and confidence in God : the Being who 

 could speak into existence these innumerable worlds must 

 regard each of them and every living soul upon them. " The 

 hairs of your head are all numbered." The eye of that Infi- 

 nite God must see every individual he has created, as really as 

 if that individual was the only living soul. There is no relief 

 from the dread idea, but in penitent and humble faith and per- 

 fect love, to Him and to his attributes, as to our Father in 

 Heaven.
