An eclipse of the sun happened in New England in 1806. The heavens became dark, and it seemed by many that the Day of Judgment was at hand. The Legislature of Connecticut happened then to be in session, and as the darkness loomed a member moved the adjournment of the House, on which an old legislator, Davenport of Stamford, rose up and said that if the last day had come, he desired to be found in his place and doing his duty; for which reasons he moved that candles should be brought, so that the House might proceed with its business. Waiting at the post of Duty was the maxim of this wise man, and he carried his motion!
"So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. 'Put this money to work,' he said, 'until I come back.' Luke 19:13
