Tried as by Fire.

All external circumstances, whether direct from God or indirect through man, whether from open enemies or dearest friends, whether Intended or simply casual, through willful sin or unavoidable infirmity, are component parts of th’at furnace through which our nature is passing, and in which, if at all, our sanctification is to be attained. —Rev. T. T. Carter.
