Europe, on the
other hand, people have arrived by hard experience at the conviction that
intelligence, capacity, culture, and energy, bring men to the front, and
give them peace at home and power abroad. It is the knowledge of how to
make the best possible use of their energy and abilities that has enabled
the English to derive success from our victories and sacrifices. May
this be a lesson to us."

But enough; one knows the end ere they begin, for the Word of God is
true. We do not argue that the English are so much smarter than other
people; no, but we account for their success because they are the
executive nation of Divine Providence. It falls to the lot of those who
do not believe this theory to account for their success without allowing
them to be smarter.

speaking of the House of Israel, and the masculine when denoting the
House of Judah. Quite frequently Israel is spoken of as a divorced
woman, as being cast off, and as being barren. Judah remaining faithful
to the throne of David and the temple service, and abiding in the land
much longer than Israel, is presented as one married. So you will
understand Jeremiah iii. 8, when he says: "And I saw, when for all the
causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away,
and given her a bill of divorce." Again, Isaiah l. 1: "Thus saith the
Lord, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement whom I have put
away?" Yet, though Israel was divorced, forsaken, cast off, and
desolate, she was to have more children than married Judah. So the verse
preceding the text says: "Sing, O barren, thou that didst not b
