Description: It is worthy of remark, that in the providence of God, great effects result from apparently little causes. This remark is strikingly illustrated in the history of the Church. The most signal deliverances and successes have proceeded from small beginnings; and the most illustrious displays of divine power and grace, have been made in the use of the feeblest instruments. " The kingdom of heaven islike to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs ; and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof." Again,"The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened ."Moses, Paul, and Luther, were once in their cradles. The whole Christian church once comprised but eleven poor men, and they were enclosed in an upper room, in Jerusalem.
