GOD'S ways are large and slow. As Dr. Thomas used to remark, "He is in no hurry, He has plenty of time". When the occasion calls, He can deal a lightning stroke like the overthrow of the Egyptian army in the Red Sea, or the engulfment of a rebellious company of priests in the wilderness; but in the general proportions of His plans of operation, magnitude, deliberation, gradualness, are characteristics.
