h<din, the n1oit Oh
Is wrong because the present Is sufa-
ciently taxed with trial 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 pol.
lev of gathering It up for one day or
a year. Cruel thing to put upon the
back OF one camel all the cargo intend
ed for the entire caravan I never
looked at my memorandum book TO
see what engagements and duties are
far 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 cham
pions 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
a pay their rent and meet their notes
and manage affairs as they now are,
but what if there should come e panic?

and they are worried about the future.
They make out very well now, but
they are bothering themselves about
future pleurisies, and rheumatisms, and
neuralgias and fevers Their eyesight
Is feeble, and they are worried lest
they entirely lose it. Their hearing is
indistinct and they are alarmed lest
they become entirely deaf They felt
chilly to-day and are expecting an at
tack of typhoid They have been
troubled for weeks with some
perplexing maIady, and dread be-
coming lifelong invalidS Take care of
your health now, and trust God for the
future. Re not guilty of the blasphemy
Of asking him 10 take care of you while
you sleep with your windows tight

o'clock at night, or sit down on 4 cake

be confident Some of the sickest peo-

on again Theodore Frelinghuysen had
a great horror of dying until the time
came, and then went peacefully. Take
care of the present and let the future
take care of itself Sufficient unto

Again: The habit OF borrowing mis-
fortune is wrong. because IL units us
