Yet in their pride men assert their will and claim ownership of the earth. Well, for a time it is true, this is man\u2019s world. God is admitted only by man\u2019s sufferance.

Man will have it understood that this is his world; he will make its laws and decide how it shall be run. God is permitted to decide nothing. Man bows to Him and as he bows, manages with difficulty to conceal the crown upon his own head.<\/p>\n
