God’s Triumph Over Infidelity

Gibbon, Voltaire, and Chesterfield, distinguished infidels, labored earnestly to overthrow the cause of Christ. How has God in his providence thwarted all their plans! Gibbon’s house at Lake Leman is now a hotel in which there is a room for the sale of Bibles; Voltaire’s printing press, from which he scattered widely his infidel tracts, has been appropriated to printing the word of God, which he sought to destroy; and Chesterfield’s parlor, wherein an infidel club used to meet and rail at religion, is now a vestry where the groans and prayers of the penitent go up to God. Thus God makes the wrath of man to praise him, and the remainder he restrains.
