The Germans had the big guns at the Marne, had they not?
But Providence settled them.

Do not ever forget that.
Just hold on to that when you feel inclined to doubt.

Clutch hold of the sides of your chair and sit tight and keep saying, 'Big guns are good but the Almighty is better, and He is on our side, no matter what the Kaiser says about it.' I would have gone crazy many a day lately, Miss Oliver, dear, if I had not sat tight and repeated that to myself.
My cousin Sophia is, like you, somewhat inclined to despond.

'Oh, dear me, what will we do if the Germans ever get here,' she wailed to me yesterday.

'Bury them,' said I, just as off-hand as that.
