shadows of today are thick enough. Why
implore the presence of other shadows!
The cup is already distastefuL. Why
halloo to disasters far distant to come
and wiring out more gall in the bitter

we can go forth to challenge all the fu-
ture?
Here are business men just able TO
manage affairs as they now are. They
can pay their rent and meet their notes !
and manage affairs as they now are. but
how if a panic should come and my in
vestments should fail? Go tomorrow and /
write on your daybOOk or on your ledger, /

about notes that are far from due. Do
not pile up on your counting desk the
financial anxieties Of the next 20 years.
The God who has taken care Of your

and they are worried about the future.
! They make out very well now, but they

pleurisies and rheumatisms and neural
gias 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 en-
tirely deaf They felt chilly today and
are expecting an attack of typhoid. 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
prudent and then be confident. Some OF
the sickest people have been the most
useful. Il was 80 with Payson, who died
deaths daily, and Robert Hall, who used
