The Outlook Frightening.

4 THERE are. some uncertain things.
No human foresight can inform us
whether season will be wet or dry, or
whether a winter will be open or severe.
Men may. guess, and guess correctly,
but it is only guess-work. No study of
tables of rainfall or climatic changes for
any given period of years will enable us
to Judge of the future with any degree
of certainty
The wise farmer will not plant or sow
under the direction of any prophetic
seer. The wise fisherman will not be
deferred from preparing his boats and
nets because the winter has been open
OR the reverse. But when the regu-
lar fishing season arrives he casts in his
net; if he succeeds, well-if not, he
tries again, and continues trying till he
succeeds: So will the man of push and
energy and faith do in all the relations
of life. The farmer is no exception.
He has practical faith in an unseen yet
controlling power that has promised
that seed time and harvest shall never
fail. 90 ..ys 'tE.as..-
