Societies,
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.


Worry is wearing the heart out OF
thousands of persons. They are fret
ting themselves into premature old
age and premature graves. Lies sun
is forever obscured by their clouds q
fear and encouragement. Not only arr
they without peace and without JOY.
but also without power; worry steals
from work. So widespread is the hurt
of worry felt that various Don't Wor-
ry' societies a been established. ana
talks and books on the simple life
nave become quite the rage. These
have proved to be mere fads, for they
have no deep and sufficient remedy for
the ills they sought to remedy. The
only word that will Danish worry is the
peace which Jesus Christ speaks. He
can say to us. as he said to the twelve.
Let not your heart be troubled" be-
cause his promise of protection ana
providence accompanies his divine
command. The strength of the Lord

Worry wears. 1t spends in useless
anxiety the power that is needed to do
things. No worker can afford to worry,
for if he does his output is oun to
ueterlOruJe.
Worry is q weakness. Who are the
worrying characters YOU know? Are
they the strong, brave esolute Spirits,
who are bringing things to pass in the
world? Or are they not. rather. the
ineffective persons, the fearful and the
faint hearted? Serenity is a sign OF
strength; poise denotes power.
No mans faith is great enough un-
less it has saved him from worrying.
Worry is futile, as we'll as unreal
sonable. 1t accomplishes nothing.
| Worry averts NJ disasters. pays no
debts, mends no poverty, heals no SICK
ness. hastens no event. 1t is no tribute
to the intelligence of the race that 1t
is spending SO large IA proportion OF
it's energy in a pursuit that accom-
| plishes absolutely nothing but harm.
Believe in me-" says Jesus. That is
his anti-worry program. Faith in him
drives oat all the fears that a the

Worrying Christians are not wit
Messing Christians. The person with
his brow wrinkled by care, and his
heart furrowed by anxiety over the
morrow, cannot bear a clear testimony
to the peace of Jesus Christ.
If Christ may be trusted for saliva
ton he may also be trusted for all
lesser things.
The world is wide
In time and tide
And God is guide.
So do not hurry.
That man is blest
Who does his best.
I And leaves the rest.
