The Voices of God's Providence
Acts 27:1-20
And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to one named Julius…


Among the voices of God's providence are the howling storm and the roaring sea. A pious chaplain, detained by contrary wind at the Isle of Wight over the Sunday, preached that day in one of the churches of the island. In the congregation there was a thoughtless girl who had come to show her fine clothes. The Word of God arrested her, and she was converted. The story of her conversion is the narrative of the "Dairyman's Daughter," which has gone all round the world, and the fruit of the sermon is a hundredfold.
