Canst thou by searching find out God?
Job xi. 7.
Well may we institute this inquiry. The greatest minds the world has known, after the most searching investigations and logical inquiry, have been obliged to admit that, to their sense, God was incomprehensible; and yet many a poor wanderer, driven by the selfishness of man from the enjoyment of earthly pleasure, with not even a pillow for his head, has found the hard-heartedness of man to be the index-finger pointing him to the living God, in the love of whom alone he could find rest and peace.
