^When Man settled in Babylon,
 he proposed to build a tower
 to reach the heavens. Man
 was vain; he presumed to
 gaze upon the almighty face
 of the LORD.
    
    
^But the LORD will not be
 mocked. He saw the tower,
 and in His wisdom he smote
 it, and He confounded their
 language, and He scattered
 the builders abroad upon the
 face of all the earth, and
 they left off to build the
 tower.
    
    
^Blessed be the name of the
 LORD.
    
    
    
    
    
    
^But what if the LORD had not
 seen the tower? What if some
 benevolent priest, wise in
 His service and mindful
 of the interests of man, had
 restrained those ancient
 engineers and prevented the
 profane ziggurat from
 attracting His almighty
 wrath?
    
    
    
^They might just have got
 away with it.
