What is the power that God has given us?

There is an overruling power, guiding in unison, humanity and the elements of which we are composed, and over which we do not have the slightest control. Even the air, which we constantly inhale, giving life every moment of our existence and upon which we are as dependent for subsistence as upon nutriment, comes from no other source, given for the supply of this vital spark of life, but in the elements of Nature, floating in every breeze, it is given by the hand of a power.
