WHY BRING NEW soRkows,

Vaccinations IL stock gan pliers, or the

So there are prisons in feeble health, and
they are worried about the }uture. Th4y
make out very! well now, put they aSe
botheriI themselves about future pleu3i
sies and rheun atisms and .nkuralgias aid
fevers. Their 4yesight is fetble, and thiy
are worried lestithey eEtirelIlose it. Thdir
hearing is indist tinct, and they are ALARMED
lest they beconi ie entirely cehE They fTt
chilly today, ami are expecting an attack
of typoid. They have beeni troubled fpr
weeks with sonic perplexing malady, and
dread becoming lifelong lpvalids. Take
care of your hehlth now and trust God f3r
the future.
Be not guilty bf the hIasphfmy of asking
him to take car e of you while you sletp
with your wirt1ows tight pOwn, or eht
chicken salad al II O'Clock att night, or Git
down on a cakejof ice to cool ,off. Be pr1-
dent and then tls confident. lSome of tle
sickest people b Elve been ths imost useful
1t was so with IPayson, who died deaths
daily, and RobeEt Hall, who used to stop
in the midst of ibis sermon Ind lie down
on the pulpit sofa to rest, and then go on
again. TheodoFe Frelngh%ysen had a
great horror of Eying tll THY time came,
and then wentjpeacefuny. Take care IF
the present andIlet the future look out FIR

ROBs Us OF WHAT sTRENGTI WE HAvEi
Again, the habit of BORROWING misfor- /
tune is wrong because it uni US for !, |
when it ACTUALLY does come.I We cannlt |
always have sIAooth sailing: Life's path !
will sometimes tumble among declivitiks |
and mount a steep and be tloIS pierceH. !
Judas will kiss bur cheek aud then sell Us |
for thirty pieces of silver. Human sco9n |
will try to cruelty us between, two thievek |
We will hear tfs iron gate ofthe sepulch4r |
,reak and grind as it shuts i1 our kindred |
But we cannot yet ready forl these things |
oy forebodings. They who fight imaginary |
woes will comesout of breathS into conflict i
With the armed disasters OF the future. /
Their ammunition will have been wasted /
ong before they come UNDER the guns of
'eal misfortune. Boys in attempting 30
ump a wall sometimes go Sc far back IN
,rder to get impetus that when they come
lp they are exhausted; aud these long
aces in order to get spring enough to
'ault trouble bring US up az last to the
lreadfuI reality with our strength gone.
Finally, the Habit of borrowing trouble
5 wrong because it is unbelief God has
Promised to take care of us. The Bible
blooms with assurances. ROur hunger
will be fed; your sickness Will be allevi-
ted; your SORROWS will be healed. God
viii sandal your feet and smooth your
'ath, and along by frowning crag ard
pening grave sonnd the voices of victory
nd good cheer.j The summer clouds that
eem thunder charged really carry in their
'osom harvest$ of wheat, and shocks bf
orn, and vineyards purpling for the wire
ress. The wrathful wave :will kiss TIE
eet of the great storm Wake II. Our greht
oshua will command, and above your
oul the sun of prosperity Will stand still
,leak and wave struck Patnlos shall haze
pocalyptic vision, and you shall hear the
ry of the elders, and the sweep of wings,
nd trumpets of salvation, and the voice
f Hallelujah unto God for ever.
PLACE YOUR TRUST ~ GOD.
Your way may wind along dangerous
ride paths and amid VOLTS howl and the
cream of the vulture, but the way still
Tinds upward till angels guard it, and
rees of life overarch it, and thrones line it,
nd crystalline fountains leap on it, and
he pathway ends at gates that are pearl,
nd streets that are gold, and temples that
re always open, and hills that quake with
song, and city mingling for
yer Sabbath and jubilee and triumph
nd coronation.
Let pleasure chant her siren song.
'Tis not the song for me;
To weeping il will turn e'eP long,
For this Is heavens decree.
But there's g song the rsnso1ned sing.
To Jesus, their exalted king,
With joyful heart and tongue,
On. that's the song forimel
Courage, my brotherl The father does
OF give to his son at school enough money
} last him several ye~rs, but. as the bills
)r tuition and board and clothing and
ooks come in, pays them. So God viii
OF give you grace all at once for the
Iture, but wiz mest all your exigencies
5 they come. Through earnest prayer,
-ust him. Put everything in Gods hand,
I'D leave il there. Large interest money
pay will soon eat up a farm, a store, an
state. and the interest on borrowed
-oubles viii swamp anybody. Sufficient
nto the day Is the evil thereof"
