When faith and hope fail. as they do

love in action. We must speculate no

Hasty conclusions are the mark of fool :

Rev. II. W. Beecher
There are few who have not often wished
that they might cast away all care. and who
do not often long for that freedom from
| every care which they are wont to regard
as the very crown OF human happiness
And 1t is one of those numberless blessings
which we do not appreciate that all such
wishes have been and always will be un-
fulfilled. God knows better than we. Our
highest aim may be what we call happi-
ness. But, as Carlyle says, there is in man
q higher aim than happiness; he can do
without happiness, and attain instead to
bllessedness: Perhaps he might be happy
If freed from all care; but we Ger
tainly could not be blessed. We might
be happy as the birds are happy, as the
cattle of the field are; but we could not
be men in the full enjoyment of an har-
monious, symmetrical manhood, with
mans power, mans freedom and mans
responsibilities. These are the distinc-
ton of him alone who was made in
Gods own image. And they can not
exist where there are no cares. Well,
