Psalm 115:12 The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. Many minds know a good deal of the Roman Emperor's forebodings, that if things have long gone well with you, then something amiss is very likely to come. If we could but all rise to the happier argument from the past to the future of a certain ancient and inspired poet, and really believe that "The Lord hath been mindful of us: He will bless us." The common way of judging constantly is, that since all has been so pleasant for many days or years, now a smash is due. But though this way of judging be common, and though, to a superficial glance, it seems to be confirmed by facts, it would be very easy to show that it is entirely wrong. (A. K. H. Boyd.)
