In the Straits of Magellan, | have been
told, there is place where, whichever
way ship captain puts his ship he
finds the wind against him, and there
are men who all their lives have been
running in the teeth of the wind, and
which way to turn they do not know.

talks to another brother, Cast thy
burden upon the Lord, and he shall
sustain thee.
BUSINESS BURDENS.

who have business burdens. When we
gee man harried and perplexed and
annoyed in business life we are apt to
say, "He ought not to have attempted
to carry so much" All that man may
not be to blame at all. When inan
plants business he does not know
what wilI-bv.its outSrowtiis, wndl wan
Ina its roots. what will be its branches
There is many a man with keen fore
sight and large business faculty who
has been flung into the dust by unfore-
seen circumstances springing upon him
from ambush When to buy. when to
sell, when to trust. and to what amount
of credit, what will be the effect OF
this new invention OF machinery. what
will be the effect OF that loss OF crop,
and a thousand other questions perplex
business men. until the hair is silvered
and deep wrinkles are plowed in the
cheek; and the stocks 20 up by the
mountains and go down by the valleys,
and they are at their wits ends. and
stagger like drunken 'nefi.
