Reformed Covenanter
Cancelled Commissioner
When God brings any great calamity upon us, he means us to feel it. He designs that we should be humbled, that we should mourn and pray. It is thus that he makes our trials the means of good. If we harden our hearts under his chastening hand; if we refuse to mourn and to humble ourselves in his sight, our afflictions become punishments, and work out for us only evil, however they may minister to the good of others.
