Dr. John Witherspoon, signer of the Declaration
of Independence & president of the College of New Jersey, which became
Princeton University, lived at Tusculum, a country seat at Rocky Hill, about
two miles from the college, and drove every day to his duties as teacher &
president.
One day a neighbor came excitedly into his
study at the college and said, "Dr. Witherspoon, you must join me in
giving thanks to God for his extraordinary providence in saving my life, for as
I was driving from Rocky Hill the horse ran away & the buggy was smashed to
pieces on the rocks, but I escaped unharmed!"
"Why," answered Dr. Widierspoon,
"I can tell you a far more remarkable providence than that. I have driven
over that road hundreds of times. My horse never ran away, my buggy never was
smashed, I was never hurt."
