this conclusion that a man may make &

ct all.
we sometimes see on the sky, acconpa-
MED with rumblings OF thunder and
flashes OF lightning. They prophesy a
rainstor1n, and we worry for fear we may
be overtaken In the storm. but suddenly
in natures resourcefulness. the atmos-
phere changes, the wind veers to dif1er-
ent point Of the compass. the clouds dis
appear from the sky and instead OF the
rain that we apprehended the momentary
eloudiness has given place to a far more
beautiful day because Of the temporary
gloom. So clouds appear upon our men

instead of the storm we anticipate there
will come more generous sunshine. The
calamity we apprehended VIII never

are apprehensive to the point of dis

come to the ground. And in these cases
worry and distraction are folly of the
veriest kind.
I knew lady recently whose husband
died, leaving her with little money and
less experience with which to face the
struggle of life. She made a business
venture which was a failure. leaving hey

about the future. She was distracted

OF reaiising her fears, she Is eating heav-

when disposed to be distracted by worldly
cares that many OF the clouds In our

Burns gives US very practical philoso-
