So there are persons IN feeble health. and

ering themselves about future pleurisies and
rhzu,natisms and neuralgias aud 1evers.
Their eyesight is feeble, AMI they are Wor-

Re not guilty Of the blasphemy of asking
Him 10 take care Of you while you sleep with
your windows tight down, or eat chicken
salaI at Iociock at night- or sit down on q
cake of ice to cool off. Be prudent AMI then
be confident. Some Of the slcdest people
have been the most useful. 1t was So with

gate of the sepulcher creak and grind as it

ready for these things by forebodlngs. They
who fight Imaginary woes will come, out OF

tiers of the future. Their ammunition will
have been wasted long before they come
under the guns OF real misfortune. Boys IN

they come up they are exhausted; aud these

Finally. the habit OF borrowing trouble is

with assurances. Your hunger will be fed:
your sickness will be alley lat "a, your sorroHs
will be healed. God will sandal your feet ID

that seem thunder charged really carry in
