So all the vicissitudcs OF this life. 80
far as they have any religious profit, are
In the right OF the Christian. III you
should stand among the Allegheny
mountains, especially near what IL call
the Horseshoe. " you would find a train
OF cars almost doubling on itself, and
sitting in the back car you see loco
motive coming IA you look out OF the
window, and you think IL Is another
train when IL is only the front OF the
train I'm which you arc riding; and
sometimes you can hardly tell whether
the train Is going toward Pittsburgh or
toward Philadelphia, but IL IN on the
track, and IL will reach the depot for
which II started, and all the passengers
will be discharged Mt the right place.
Now, there are IA great many sharp
curves in life. Sometimes we seem to
be going this way. and sometimes we
seem to be going that way; but IL we
are Christians we are on the right track
and we arc going TO come out at the
right place. DO not get worried. then,
about tho sharp curve a sailing vessel
starts from New York for Glasgow.
Does u go In straight line? oh, no.
II changes it's tack every little while.
Now, you say. "rhis vessel, instead OF
going 20 Glasgow, must be going To
lIavre, or IL is going TO Hamburg, or IL
Is going To Marseillcs.r No, no. IL II
going 10 Glasgow. And In this voyage
OF life we often have TO change our
tack. One storm blows us this way, and
another storm blows us that way; but
he who holds the winds In his fist will
bring ms into n haven OF everlasting
rest just 40 the right time. DO not
worry, then, IL you have To change tack.
One Of the best things that ever hap

things work together for your good. II
you walk the desert, the mamma will
fall and the sea will part, II the fever
ish torch of sickness Is kindled over
your pillow, by It's light you can read

dash high above your girdlc. across the
blast and across the surge you can hear

You never owned glove. or shoe, ct
"A hat, or q coat more certainly than you
own all the frcts and annoyances and
