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
gamblers, or the plots OF political dema-
gogues or the red right arm of revolution,
and the darkness win fly and the storm fall
deadat his feet.
So there are persons in feeble health. and
they are worried about the future. They
make out very well now, but they are both
| ering themselves about future pleurisies,
| and rheumatisms, and neuralgias, and
! fevers. Their eyesfght is feeble, and they
are worried unless they entirely lose it.
| Their bearing is indistinct, 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 perpleXing
malady, an dread becoming lifelong inva-
lids. Take care of your Health now, and
trust God for the future. Re not guilty OF
the blasphemy of asking Him to take care of
you while you sleep with your windows
| tight down, or eat chicken salad at II
O'Clock at night, or sit down on a cake Of ice
to cool Off Be prudent and then be conf
dent. Some of the sickest people have been
the most useful. It was so with Payson,
who died deaths daily, and Robert Hall,
VINO used to stop in the midst OF his sermon,
and lie down on the pulpit sofa to rest and
then go on again. Theodore Frelinghuysen
oane, and then went peacefully. Take care
of the present and let the future look out
for itself Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof"
NOT ALWAYS SMOOTH SAILING.
Again: The habit of borrowing misfortune
Is wrong, because it units US for it when it
actually does come. We cannot always have
smooth sailing. Life's path will sometimes
tumble among declivlties and mount q
steep, and be thorn-pierced. Judas will kiss
our cheek, and 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 sepulchre creak and grind
as it shuts in our kindred. But we cannot
get ready for these things by forebodings.
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 fed;
your sickness will be alleviated; your sor-
rows will be healed. God will sandal your
feet, and smooth your path, and along by
frownlng crag and opening grave sound the
voices of victory and good cheer. The sum-
mer clouds that seem thunder-charged really
carry in their bosom harvests of wheat, and
shocks Of corn, and vineyards purpling for
the winepress. The wrathful wave will 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 wavestruck Patmos shall
have apocalyptic vision, and you shall hear
the cry of the elders, and the sweep of
wings, and trumpets of salvation, and the
voice O. .hallelujah unto God forever.
TRIUMPH FOR THE JOYOUS.
Let pleasure chant her siren song,
'Tis not the song for me:
To weeping it will turn e'er long,
For this is heavens decree.
But there's 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 several years, but, as the bills for
tuition and board, and clothing and books
come in, pays them. So God will not give
you grace all at once for the future, but will
meet all your eNigencies as they come.
Through earnest prayer, trust Him. Put
everything in Gods hand, and leave if there.
Large interest money to pay will soon eat a
farm, store, an estate, and the interest on
borrowed troubles will swamp anybody.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof"
