I do the very best I know how - the very best I can and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.
Abraham Lincoln

We must believe that He permits it [this war] for some wise purpose of his own, mysterious and unknown to us and though with ourlimited understandings we may not be able to comprehend it, yet we cannot but believe, that he who made the world still governs it.
