The fruits of wasted years are gone, gone past hope. Yet, behold, the Lord who called light out of darkness, and will yet bring forth life from the tomb, declareth that these long-lost spoils shall be restored! And shall it not be done? Is anything too hard for the Lord? Does not the very difficulty, yea impossibility of the enterprise, make it the more worthy of the Almighty? Herein is a marvellous thing, and herein is, therefore, a work fit for him who doeth great marvels. To him that believeth, all things are possible, and this also among the all things. Never was fairytale more strange, or dream of Arabian nights more romantic; yet here it stands in sober words, and many a time in solid fact these words have been true. When we come into the region where the Lord worketh, we come at once into contact with miracles, and walk in the midst of marvels. Then, as we see grace upon grace, we have to cry, “O world of wonders! I can say no less.”
