You well know<br \/>\n        how our forefathers were disposed to see God in almost everything that<br \/>\n        happened. They looked for the hand of God in all natural occurrences and<br \/>\n        in every unusual episode of human experience. They connected God with<br \/>\n        both good and evil. They thought he softened the heart of Moses and hardened<br \/>\n        the heart of Pharaoh. When man had a strong urge to do something, good<br \/>\n        or evil, he was in the habit of accounting for these unusual emotions<br \/>\n        by remarking: `The Lord spoke to me saying, do thus and so, or go here<br \/>\n        and there.&#8217; Accordingly, since men so often and so violently ran into<br \/>\n        temptation, it became the habit of our forefathers to believe that God<br \/>\n    led them thither for testing, punishing, or strengthening. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"5\">But you, indeed,<br \/>\n        now know better.
