Excerpt from The Relation of Divine Providence to Physical Laws: A Discourse Delivered Before the Porter Rhetorical Society, of Andover Theological Seminary, August 1, 1854 Nay, further; the world of matter and the world of mind are not in a state of isolation. They do not present two distinct and parallel series of phenomena. On' the contrary, they come at innumerable points into the closest relationship, and are continually act ing and reacting upon one another; so that we can hardly hope to arrive at a true idea of the scheme or plan of either, by the study of that alone.

Excerpt from Divine Providence The history of the past as well as the events of the present are exponents of Gods providence. "Providence is the light of history, and the soul of the world." A universe without a God and a God without a providence are contradictions. All stand as living witnesses to testify that an all-wise, all-powerful, and benevolent Being is managing the affairs of the universe. Wherever we turn our eye, we see unmistakable evidences of design; and wherever we see such evidences of design, we see proof of the prior existence of the designer. Whence all this harmony, and all this adaptation of one thing to another? Is it all the result of chance? Nay, this can not be, for confusion 13 the law of chance. The primary signification of the word providence is to provide; hence we see in all the arrangements of nature a provision and adaptation as wonderful as they are wise and benevolent. There is a power that pervades and actuates the world of matter and mind. The whole series of events in nature proceeds not by accident, but according to a wise provision made in advance. Accident, chance, and fortune are words often used but seldom understood. In the sense in which they are most commonly used, they are meaningless. What is mostly set down as accident or chance is only the mysterious workings of Providence; we see the effect but not the cause.
