Naught else we lack. but such a choice,
And cen the angels would rejoice,
Had we such love.
Then let US pray-give US that love
Which in the Saviour's heart did burn;
For it all else We Will resign.
We would be wholly truly Thine;
Give us that love.

TRUST.

The Christian Endeavor topic for
March Is is found in Matthew vi,
1884. What Christ teaches about
trust. What? Are we to take no
thought, have no care, feel no respon-
sibility? Most certainly we are to
have all these. Life is a tremendous
responsibility. We cannot rightly dis
charge our duty to God or our fellow
men without much thought and care
But while we are faithfully doing His
work, He Is just as. faithfully caring
for our lives. Christs teaching was
SIMPLY this: Have no undue anxiety
about food, drink or clothes; they are
not worth while. Do My work. which
IS worth while, and l will see that you
are fed and clothed. I know you need
all these things and they shall be
added unto you" Earth and heavens
interests are not at variance While
we look after the one, God looks after
both. And at is true of individuals
and nations that those who do the most
for the spiritual shall in the end have
the most of the temporal"
Our worst misfortunes are those that
never befall u.s. There is danger of
taking too long view of life. It was
said of one,- The bent of his mind was
so onward-looking that he saw only a

WEATHER PREDICTIONS.

In letter addressed to the editor of

says: mo reputable scientist will to-

lions. With our present knowledge OF
meteorological science such forecasts
cannot be made with any marked degree
of accuracy. OF course, anyone with a
proper consideration of the weather that
usually occurs in a season, may make
long-range predictions and have some of
them verified, but such work is worse
than useless If it were possible to make
reliable long-range forecasts the wealth
