 The Preacher continues: Ponder the work of God, but you will find nothing in anything that you can see that shall enable you to forecast the future with any certainty. Adversity follows prosperity, and my counsel is to make the best use of both―enjoy this when it comes, and let that teach you that God’s ways are inscrutable. (Ecclesiastes 7 by F.C. Jennings)
 Alternations “to the end that (with that express purpose) man should find nothing of what shall be after Him”! Reason, or Intelligence, with all her highest powers, stands hopeless and helpless before that dark future, and wrings her hands in agony. (Ecclesiastes 7 by F.C. Jennings)
