IN THE STREAM OF PROVIDENCE

The Divine Providence is universal, that is, in the leasts of all

things. They who are in the stream of Providence are borne along

continually to happiness, whatsoever the appearance of the means may

be. They are in the stream of Providence, who put their trust in the

Divine, and ascribe all things to Him. They are not in the stream of

Providence who trust themselves alone and ascribe all things to

themselves. As far as one is in the stream of Providence, so far one

is in a state of peace. Such alone know and believe that the Divine

Providence of the Lord is in each and all things, yea, in the leasts

of all things.
