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 up on your counting desk the financial
anxieties 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 in 1891 as In
1881 Gods hand is mightier than the
Vaccinations Of stock gamblers, or the
plots Of political demagogues, or the red
right arm Of revolution, and the darkness
win fly and the storm fail dead at his feet.
So there are persons IN feeble health, and
they are worried about the future, They
make out very well now, but they are
bothering themselves about future pleuE
sizes and rheumatisms and neuralgias 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
the future
Be not guilty Of the blasphemy Of asking
him to take care of you while you sleep
with your windows tight down, or eat
chicken salad at II O'Clock at night, or sit
down on a cake Of ice to cool off. Be pru
dent and then be confident. Some Of the
sickest people have been the most useful.
It was so with Payson. who died deaths
daily, and Robert Hall, who used to stop
in the midst Of bis sermon and lie down
on the pulpit sofa to rest, and then go on
again Theodore Frelinghuysen had
great horror Of dying till the time came,
and then went peacefully Take care Of
the present and let the future look out for
itself Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof"
RORs US OF WHAT STRENGTH WE HAVE.
Again, the habit of borrowing misfor-
tune is wrong because It units us for it |
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 1
for thirty pieces of silver Human scorn /
will try to cruelty US between two thieves. |
We viii hear the iron gate Of the sepulcher |
creak and grind as it shuts in our kindred. |
But we cannot get ready for these things |
by forebodings They who fight imaginary F.
woes will come out of breath, into conflict /
with the armed disasters of the future |
Their ammunition will have been wasted |
long before they come under the guns of
real misfortune. Boys in attempting to
Jump wall sometimes go so far back in
order to get impetus that when they come
mp 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
s wrong because it is unbelieE God has
promised to take care of us. The Bible
blooms with assurances. Your hunger
will be fed; your sickness will be allevi-
lted. your sorrows will be healed God
Till sandal your feet and smooth your
oath, and along by frowning crag and

Bleak and wave struck Patmos shall have

PLACE YOUR TRUST IN GOD.
Your way may wind along dangerous
ride paths and amid VOLTS howl and the
cream Of the vulture, but the way still
rinds upward till angels guard it. and
rees of life overarch It, and thrones line it,

he pathway ends al gates that are pearl,
nd streets that are gold, and temples that

erpetual song and city mingling for
yer Sabbath and jubilee and triumph
nd coronation.
Let pleasure chant her siren song,
"Fis not the song for me;
To weeping il will turn eer long,
For this is heavens decree. ,
But there's a song the ransomed sing.
To Jesus, their exalted king.
With joyful heart and tongue,
Oh, that's the song for mel q
