curtain the sky, and the foliage that waves in the forest. Thank him for . Bible to read. and a cross to gaze upon, and Savior to deliver.
 Arain: The habit of borrowing trouble IS wrong, because the present is sufficiently taxed with trlal. God sees that we all need a certain amount of trouble, and so he apportions 1t for all the days and years of our life. Alas for the policy of gathering 1t all up for one day or year! Cruel thing to put upon the back of one camel all the cargo intended for the enti caravan. l never look at my memorandum- book to see what engagements and duties are ahead. Let every week bear its own burdens.
 The shadows of to-day are thick enough; why implore the presence of other shadows? The cup is already dis tasteful; why halloo to disasters far dis tant to come, and wiring out more gall into the bitterness? Are we such champions that, having won the belt in former encounters, we can go forth to challenge all the future?
 Here are business men just able to manage affairs as they now are. They can pay their rent, and meet their notes. and manage affairs, as they now are. but what if there should come a panic? Go tomorrow and write on your book. on your ledger on your money safe, Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" Do not worry about notes that are far from due. Do not pile up on your countingdesll the financial anxieties of the next twenty years. The God who has taken care of your worldly oceupa- tion. guarding your store from the torch of the incendiary and the key of the burglar, will be as faithful in 1891 as in 1881. Gods hand is mightier than the machinations of stock.gamb blers, or the plots of DO itical demagogues, or the red right arm of revolution. and the darkness will fly and the storm ia I dead at his feet
 So there are persons in feeble health. and they are worried about the future. They make out very we'll now but they are bothering themselves about future pleurisies, and rheumatisms, and neur- algias and levers. Their eyesight IS feeble, and they are worried lest they entirely lose it. Their hearing is indis. tinct and they are alarmed lest they become entirely deaf. They felt chilly to-day, and are expecting an attack of typhoid. They have been troubled for weeks with some per picking malady, and dread be coming lifelong invalids Take care of your health now, and trust God for the future. Be not guilty of the blas- phemy of asking him to take care o. you while you sleep with your windows tight down. oy eat chickcn-salai al eleven o'clock at night. or sit down on . cake of ice to cool of. Be pruden, and then be confident. som of the siekest people ha | been the most useful. It was so witl Payson, who died deaths daily, ane Robert Hall. who used to stop in the midst of his sermon, and lie down or the pulpit sofa to rest and then go or again. Theodore Frelinghuysen had |, great horror of dying till the time came, and then went peacefully. Take care of the present, and let the future look out for itself. Sufficient Lnte the day is the evil thereof"
 Your way may wind along danger ous bridle-paths, and amid wolf's howl and the scream of the vulture, but the way still winds upward till angels guard it, and trees of life overarcn it and thrones line 1t, and crystalline fountains leap on it, and the pathway ends at gates that are pearl ano streets that arc gold. and temples that are always open, and hills that quake with perpetual song, and city ming ling for ever Sabbath, and jubilee. ane triumph and coronation.
 Let pleasure chant her siren song.
 'ris not the song for me:
 To W, eping 1t will turn e'er long,
 For this is ht Aven's decree:
 But there's a song the ransomed sing,
 To Jesus their exalted king.
 With joyful heart and tongue;
 Oh, that's the song for mel
 Courage, my brother! The father does not give to his son at school enough money to last him severa years, but, as the bills for tuition and board, and clothing and book, come in. pays them. So God will nol give you grace all at once for tn. future. but will meet all your ex agencies as they come. Through earn est prayer, trust him. Put everything In Gods hand, and leave it there Large interest money to pay will soon eat up farm, a store, an estate, and the interest on borrowed troubles will swamp anybody. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof"
