HIS POINT 634

                                HIS POINT  634

   "The dice of God," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson,
   "are always loaded."

   To further explain this metaphor, Mr. Emerson
   continued..."The world looks like a mathematical
   equation, which, turn it how you will, balances itself."

   "Take what figure you will, its exact value still
   returns to you. Every secret is told, every crime
    is punished, every virtue rewarded."

    We suspect Mr. Emerson is trying to tell us this...
   "God always makes His point." Nothing good, nor
   nothing bad, is ever hidden from the eyes of the Lord.

   And, we would be the most wretched of men if we did
   not have the faith and the hope that the dice of God
   have been loaded with the grace and the mercy of Christ.
