(Edward Payson, 1783-1827) I look up to Heaven and there see the blessed and only Potentate, the Creator and Upholder of all things, the infinite and eternal Sovereign of the universe–governing His vast kingdom with uncontrollable power, in a manner perfectly wise and holy and just and good. In this Being, I see my Creator, … More Slighted, disobeyed, and dishonored by His creatures on earth!
