It would have been a help if at some time some Baptist preacher… had said People neither get what they deserve nor deserve what they get. The gentle and the trusting are trampled on. The rich man usually forces his way through the eye of the needle, and there is little or no point in putting your faith in Divine Providence.... On the other hand, how could any preacher, Baptist or otherwise, say this?

He said silently (but nevertheless wanting to be heard) ‘Clarence, you ought not to trust me...’ half expecting Clarence to answer ‘Why not?’ If Clarence had, then he would have said ‘Because all my life I've been a stranger to myself.’

Boys are, from time to time, found hanging from a rafter or killed by a shotgun believed to have gone off accidentally. The wonder is it happens so seldom.
