God sends rain and fruitful seasons, but though they come, they never come in the same way in any one year, and I find that, as a rule, when I need anything, that it comes from a quarter that I never expected, and that from the quarter where it had come before it does not now.  Thus God keeps the eye on Himself and not on the donor.
J. B. Stoney
