Again, the habit Of borrowing trouble
is wrong because the present Is suiii
GENTLY taxed with trial. God sees that
we all need certain amount Of trouble,
and 50 he apportions It tor all the days
and years OF our life. Alas tor tie pol.
icy OF gathering it all up for one DAY OF
year! Cruel thing to put upon the back
of one camel all the cargo intended fol
the entire caravan. I never look at my
memorandum book to see what engage
meuts and duties are far ahead. Lei
every week bear It's own burdens.
WHY BRING NEW SORROWS?
The shadows of today are thick
enough. why implore the presence o
other shadows: The cup is already dis.

into the bitterness? Are We such cham.
pions that, having won the belt IN form
er encounters, We can so forth to chal'
lenge all the future?
Here are BUSINESS men just able tt
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: &C
tomorrow and write on your daybooS,
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 W
on your counting desk the financial auX-
ietles of the next twenty years. The
God who has taken care Of your worldly
occupation, guarding your store from
the torch Of the incendiary and the key
of the burglar, will be as faithful il 1891
as in 1881. Gods hand IS mlghtler than
the Vaccinations Of stock gamb .ers, OF
the plots of political demagogues, or the
red right arm ofrevolutiou, and the dark
ness will fly and the storm fall dead al
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 Deural-
eias and fevers. Their eyesight is fee
Bile, and they are worried lest they en-.
tirelv lose it. Their hearing is indis-
tinct, and they are alarmed lest they be-
come entirely deaf. They telt chilly TO-
day, and are expecting an attack OF ty'
phoid. They have been troubled fol
weeks with some perpleNlng malady,
and dread becoming lifelong invallds.
Take care Of your health now and trust
God for the future.
Be not guilty of the blasphemy Of ask.
Ing him to take care Of you while you
sleep with your windows tight down, OF
eat chicken salad at II O'Clock at night.
or sit down on cake of ice to cool Oft,
Be prudent and then be confident. Some
of the sickest people have been the mos:
useful. 1t was so with Payson, who
died deaths daily. and Robert Hall, who
used to stop in the midst of his sermon
and lie down on the pulpit sofa TO rest.
and then go on again. Theodore Ere
lingh1ysen had a great horror Of dying
till the time came, and then went peace
fully. Take care of the present and let
the future look out for itself. Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof
