best wishes and hopes. We even sink to the low ambition of finding dead Christ. and worry over the obstacles. But God is meanwhile disappointing us, by raising Christ. God blinds us with excess of light and good, not With dark and evil. Do not be anxious about things you cannot control. Your business is not to govern the world God does that, and He is able to do It.
 God intended us to trust Him Tor many things we can't understand and see. The railroad does not let the pas senger take control of the train, IL assk him to trust the management. 50 God means us to cast all our care up on Him, for He eareth for us. Jesus said that God the Father cares for the details of daily life, our food and clotn- ing, and bade us be not anxious about tho morrow. Leave it to God.
 We should cultivate the habit Of ex- pecting bright, not dark, experiences Cultivate hopeful, radiant happy, sunny disposition The Marys and Sal ome were a gloomy company that morning. They were going to a tomb, a closed tomb; a tomb that held the Lords body, "They had experienced enough to make them gloomy" says a lSympathizer. "Why should they look forward to anything bright?" The only way was to have trusted God enough to believe Him, against circum- stances. They must have felt ashamed afterwards, when they found the facts so much better than their fears. A fearful anxiety looks for the lions in the way. Faith thinks of the chains that hold them from harming us Fear says, "phe valley of the shadow oi death les ahead" Faith sings Yea tho l walk thro' the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil; for Thou are with me. Fear says oThe Masters tomb lies sealed in Jo- seph's garden Faith says, But Goo has rolled back the stone, and Chris' is risen"
 It is foolish and faithless to look or the dark side Some people are so con sistently gloomy that if you say, Tt < a pleasant day, they look at a cloud less sky and say, Yes, but a storms brewing. You say, "How happy those children are" and they reply, Yes but sorrow and care awaits them Such companions kill joy, and giV' God the lie. They make the knees t | tramble, and breed crime
 A happy person is q moral tonic t his fellows. Browning, in his poem l "Pippa, Passes has shown this. Pig. Dpa, the little girl from the silk mill ar ses with the dawn on New Year day. her one holiday, determined to ht happy all day. She goes out slnglnl from morning till night. The burden Q her song is Gods in his heaven alls lright with his world" Four groups Q people hear her sing, people whom sht does not sec and they are brought t saving repentance for sin, or contlrme' | in noble resolve to do right. She chang ed lives that day, by serving tiod ?! being happy. When she crept into be( that night, tired and too sleepy t pray, she did not know how God ha' used her.
 | We can do that, too. Go out eacl day, looking for God to send us Wha
 is best, and singing it, too, "beeaus IGoa,s in His heaven" and therefore 'tAll's right with His World
 Jerome K. Jerome says truly, 'Ji when you are going on a picnic, vol Iask man if its going to rain, and n looks at the dark clouds, and sayf ttNo," you like that man, even tho yo know it will rain The world need men who believe in q bright future because they believe in God, It doe Inot want Marys and salomes, who 2 thro' life seeking a dead lord in eealed-up sepulchre.

 hear 1t singing singing, sweetly,
 Softly in an undertQne;
 Singing as if God had taught it,
 Tt is better farther on
 Night and day 1t sings the sonnet,
 Sings while I sit alone,
 Sings it so my heart will hear 1t,
 Tt is better farther on
 Sits upon the grave and sings it,
 Sings it when the heart would groa Sings if when the shadows darken
 it is better farther on"
 Farther onl vet how much farther?
 Count the mile-stones one by one.
 No-no counting-only trusting,
 Tt is better farther on!
