fully. Take care of the present, and 1 let the future look out for itself. "Suf- fcient unto the day is the evil there of."
 Again, the habit of borrowing mis- fortune 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 dechvities and mount steep
 and be thorn pierced. Judas will kiss
 our cheek and then sell us for 30 pieces
 of silver. Human scOrn will try to cruelty us between two thieves. We will hear the iron gate of the sepulcher creak and grind as it shuts in our 1 kindred. But we cannot get ready for these things by forbodings. They who fight imaginary foes will come out of breath into conflict with the armed dis asters of the future. Their ammuni- tion will have been wasted long before l they come under the guns of real mis- fortune. Boys in attempting to jump wall sometimes go so far back in or der to get impetus that when they come up 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 1 trouble is wrong because it is unbelief. God has promised to take care of us. The Bible blooms with assurances. Your hunger will be fed; your sickness will be alleviated; your sorrows will be healed. God will sandal your feet and smooth your path, and along by frOWning crag and opening grave sound the voices of victory and good cheer. The summer clouds that seem thunder charged really carry in their bosom harvests of wheat and shocks of corn and vineyards purpling for the Winepress. The wrathful wave will kiss the feet of the great Storm Walk CT. Our great Joshua will command, and above your soul the sun of pros perity will stand still. Bleak and wave struck Patmos shall have apocalyptic vision, and you shall hear the cry of elders and the sweep of wings and trumpets of salvation and the voice of halleluiah unto God forever.
 Your way may wind along dangerous bride paths and amid Wolf's howl and the scream of the vulture, but the way still winds upward till angels guard it, and trees of life overarch it. and thrones line it, and crystalline foun- tains leap on it, and the pathway ends a t gates that are pearl and streets that are gold and temples that are always open and hills that quake with per- petual song and a city mingling for ever Sabbath and jubilee and triumph and coronation.
 Let pleasure chant her siren song; 'Tis not the song for me.
 | To weeping 1t will turn ere long, For this is Heavens decree. | But there Is a song the ransomed sing To Jesus, their exalted King,
 |. With joyful heart and tongue. Oh, that's the song for me!
 Courage, my brother. The father | father does not give to his son at school enough money to last him sev- eral years, but, as the bills for tuition and board and clothing and books come in, pays them. So God will not give you grace all at once for the future, but will meet all your eXigencies as they come. Through earnest prayer trust Him. People ascribe the success of a certain line of steamers to business skill and know not the fact that when that line of steamers started the wife of the proprietor passed the whole of each day when a steamer started in prayer to God for it's safety and the success of the line. Put everything in Gods hands and leave it there. Large interest money to pay will soon eat up a farm, store, an estate, and the in swamp anybody. Sufficient unto the 1 day is the evil thereof"
