“Blessed be the name of God
forever and ever, to whom belongs
wisdom and might.
He changes times and seasons;
he removes kings and sets up kings;
he gives wisdom to the wise

adjust also. Fall brings a new term of school,
government elections, and the work of

hand moves the dial. With infinite wisdom, He
watches the turnings and never moves His eyes
