FUTURE CHARACTER KNOWN TO GOD.

By Archbishop Trench

As the eye of the cunning lapidary detects in the rugged pebble just digged from the mine the polished diamond that shall sparkle in the diadem of a king; or as the sculptor in the rough block of marble newly hewn from the quarry beholds the statue of perfect grace and beauty that is latent there, and waiting but the touch of his hand; so He who sees all, and the end from the beginning, sees oft times greater wonders than these: he sees the saint in the sinner—Paul the preacher of the faith, in Paul the persecutor of the faith.—Archbishop Trench.
