,E out for itself. "suficlsnt unto the day

look out for itself. ''Suaiclent unto the day
is the evil thereof"
Again. the habit OF borrowing misfortune
Is wrong because it units us for it waea it
actually does come. We cannot always have
smooth sailing. Life's path will sometimes
tumble among decliyties AMI mount steep
and be thorn pierced, JUDAS Will kiss our
cheek AMI then sell us for thirty pieces OF
silver. Human scorn will try to cruelty US
between two thieves. We will hear the iron
gate of the sepucher creak aud grind as it
shuts in our kindred. But We cannot get
ready for these things by forebodings They
who fight imaginary woes VIII come, out OF
breath; into conflict with the armed disas-
ters of the future. Their ammunition will
have been wasted long before they come
under the guns of real misfortune. Boys in
attempting to Jump a wall sometimes go so
far back in order to get impetus that when
they come up they are exhausted; and These
long races in order t. get spring enough 70
vault trouble bring us up at last 10 tne
dreadful reality with our strength gone.
Finally the habit of borrowing trouble IS
wrong because it is unbelief. God has prom
ised to take care of us. The Bible blooms
with assurances Your hunger Will be fedi
your sickness will be alleyiatsdi your sorrows
will b healed. God will sandal your feet and

crag and opening grave sound the voices OF
victory and good cheer. The summer clouds
that seem thunder charged really carry in
their bosom harvests Of wheat and shocks
Of corn, and vineyards purpling for the wins
press The wrathful wave viii kiss the feet
Of the great storm walker. Our great JOshua
Will command, and above Your soul the sun
OF prosperity will stand still. Bleak and wave
struck Patmos shall have apocalyptic vision.
and you shall hear the cry Of the elders, and
the sweep of wings, and trumpets OF saliva

Tor ever.
Your way may wind along dangerous bri-
die paths and amid VOLTS howl aud the
scream Of the vuture but th3 way still
winds upward till angels guar1 it. AMI trees
of life overarch it. and thrones line it, and
crystalline fountains leap on It, aud the
pathway ends at gates that are pearl, aud
streets that are gold, aud temples that ars
always oDen, and hills that quake with per-
petual song, and a city mingling forever
Sabbath and jubilee AMI triumph AMI coro-
nation.
Let pleasure chant her siren song,
lis not the song for me-
To weeping Il will turn e'sr long,
For this Is heayens decree.
Blu. there's song the ransomei sing,
To Jesus. their exalted king,
With joyful heart and iongu9,
Ga, that the song for me-
Courage. my brother! The father does
not give TO his son at school enough money
to last him several years, but. as the bills for
tuition and board and clothing and books
come in, pays them. 50 God will not give
you grace all at once for rho future, but will
meet all your exigenciss as they come.
Through earnest prayer, trust Him. Put
everything in Gods hand, and leave it there.
Large interest money to pay will soon eat up
a farm. a store, an estate, and the interest
on borrowed troubles will swamp anybody.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil Thereof"
