Taking Gods Promises in Vain.

IL should no more dare to fret than
curse and swear" said John Wesley.
A. writer in commenting on this re-
mark justifes Wesley by saying that
to swear is to take Gods name in
vain, and to fret is to take Gods
promises in vain. Read the Bible to
find It's "fear nots," and see how often
God uses these words in speaking to
His children, even in the midst of
danger and sore trouble. Resting on
the promises is far wiser, far nobler,
than f~retting; 1t is living with "God
o'erhead."-The Wellspring.

 In Louisiana. Ohio and Tennessee split delegations were seated.
