| So there are persons in feeble health, and
they arc worried about the future. They
make out very well now, hut they are
bothering themselves about future plerri-
sies and rheumAtisms and nenralgias 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 today, and are expecting an attack
Of typoid. They have been troubled for
weeks with some perplexing malady, and
dread becoming lifelong invalids- Take
care Of your health now and trust God for

RoEs US OF WHAT STRENGTH WE HAVE.
| Again. the habit OF borrowing misfor-
tune Is wrong because it units us for IL
when it actually does come. We cannot
always have smooth sailing. Life's path
will sometimes tumble among declivities
and mount a 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 near the iron gate Of the sepulcher
| creak and grind rs it shuts in our kindred.
But we cannot get ready for these things
by forebodings. They who fight imaginary
woes will come, out of breath, into conflict
Il e.
| Their ammunition will have been wasted
| long before they come under the guns of
real misfortune Boys in attempting to
jump a wall sometimes go SO far back in
order to get impetus that when they como
up they are exhausted; and these long
races in order to get spring enough to
vault trouble bring Us up at last to the
dreadful reality with our strength gone.
Finally, the habit OF borrowing trouble
Is wrong because it is unbeiief. God has
promised to take care OF US. The Bible
blooms with assurances. Your hunger
| will be fed; your sickness will DO allevi-
ated; your sorrows will be healed. God

opening grave sound the voices of victory
and good cheer. The summer clouds that
seem thunder charged really carry in their
bosom harvcsts of wheat. and shocks Of
corn. and vineyards purpling for the vino
press. 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 wave struck Patmos shall have
spocalyptic vision, aud you shall hear the
cry OF the elders, and the sweep Of wings,
and trumpets Of salvation, and the voice
