oON5 hO SOOU IL OOCS pOSlbifC haA iS kills. Worry destroys thousand lives where hard work destroys one. Rev MT James, in his stereopticon lecture here, threw upon the screen some noble faces, saying that these loyal workers in the temperance cause had been the victims of over-work. Side by side with these upon the screen there might have been thrown the faces of many more workers in the temperance cause, and in every other cause, who had been the victims . of over-wOrry. We are most of us over burdened; we are loaded with the cares of last year, this year and all the years of our life to come. The steam. engine that runs without friction turns out the largest product, the brook winch sings on it's way through the meadows grinds corn at the mill. When l am gloomy, don't send any one to cheer me who is as gloomy as I; when my heart is burdened with an aching load, don't send to lift that burden one whose own heart is breaking with sorrow. Send some bright, joyful, singing soul. Send some sunshine from out the deep blue. Send some song from purest throat. Send thrill of Gods sweetness and love.
 And, as a final word, remember, as cure for your fret and care, that you are still living in the midst of Gcd's world. Let all these voices speak to you: Hear God speak in the murmuring wind, hear Him ill the laughing brooklet, hear Him in the moaning sea. Remember that, if you have
 PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD, He will be overcome Himself before He will let the cares of life overcome you. I have read the story of little girl who was frightened as her mother left her alone, having just tucked the little one in bed. "Oh," said the mother, "mY dear, you must not be frightened, be- cause you know God is with you, al- though there is no light.'' And the child replied: "Mother dear, I'd much rather you took away God and left the candle." How much are we all like that little girl! We are willing to put almost anything else in the place of God. The great remedy for worry is to remember that this is Gods world, and that He has manifested Himself to us ip Christ. Almost as soon as I stepped upon the shore of Palestine, the land where our Saviour lived in His earthly life, saw man with the burden of great block of stone upon his back, which bent him nearly double. Instant ly the thought came to me, it must have been just such a sight as that which called forth from our dear Lords lips the words: ''Come unto Me all ye that are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.' O world, struggling with thy load of anxious care, why dost thou not come for rest to the feet of Him who has promised to be the great Burden bearer?
 What are we fretting for day after day Worrying our lives and good tsmpers away Enyying our neighbors, and reaching for
 gains
 Which when we attain them aren't worth the
 pains2
 If we know in our hearts that in heaven
 above
 There's a Father who watches His children
 in love,
 Then why aren't we true to that Knowledge,
 and so
 Just tlust to Him wholly, and let the cares
 goF
 God Is in heayen-'tis well with the world- For His glorious banners OCT earth are un-
 furled
 Then let us be happy, and worry no more; When faith enters in doubt flies out the
 hearts doorI
 And once rid of doubt, it is true as can be That the heart from all worries and fears
 must be free"
