It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God: to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon.
Wherever in anything that God has made, in the glory of it, be it the sky or flower or human face, we see the glory of God, there a true imagination is beholding a truth of God.
-George MacDonald, Unspoken Sermons, Third Series, 1889
