to last him several years, but as the bills

line of steamers to business skill, and
know not the fact that when that line OF
steamers started the wife of the proprie-
tor passed the whole of each day when a
steamer sailed in prayer to God for its
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, a store, an estate and
the interest on borrowed troubles will
swamp anybody. Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof"
