All but God is changing day by day. - Charles Kingsley

And what is the joy of Christ? The joy and delight which springs forever in His great heart, from feeling that He is forever doing good; from loving all, and living for all; from knowing that if not all, yet millions on millions are grateful to Him, and will be forever.

I believe not only in "special providences," but in the whole universe as one infinite complexity of "special providences."

For men must work, and women must weep,
And there's little to earn, and many to keep,
Though the harbor bar be moaning.
