Don't Worry.

DOu " UiIy.
This is the meaning of the next injunc-
ton. Our st. James version here again
fails to convey the thought of the Master.
Thought concerning earthly things is a
necessity. 1t is consequently a virtue.
There is no sphere In life in which pa
tient, persistent thought is not required.
The scholar must think of his studies,
the youth of the vocation to which he
will give his life. The man must plan
for his business, and the woman for her
home. But when all this is done what
then?
When | have reached the limit of my
powers then comes the COMMAND, Don
worry" The revised version has 1t BE
not anxious The great truth that UNI
derles this eXhortation is the providence
of God
A clear conception of God, of who He
is and what He is to His people. of His
love for them, His presence with them,
and of His power and purpose to over
rule all things for their good. would
doubt, it would hush every rebellious
murmur, and it would flood the soul with
a peace that passeth understanding, ana
that abideth forever. And this is the
peace to which God is seeking to lead
His people. 1t is the peace of heaven.
1t should be the peace of earth. Moth
ing so illustrates the purpose Of God con-
cerping us as does worry. 1t is the load
stone beside the magnetic needle that not
only draws it away from it's true point
ing but agitates it with ceaseless vibra-
tons.
There is perhaps no sin more general
than that of worrying. And there is
surely none more cauSeless or fruitless.
a saint once said that there are two
things; over which should not worry:
those that we cannot prevent and those
that we can. John Wesley said that he
could no more worry than he could curse
and swear.
Our Lord now gives six reasons for
the prohibition of worry. The life is
more than meat and the body than raj
ment. Give your thought to the imper-
isha BILE and undying. And then, He feed
eth the birds of the air. They have
neither barn nor storehouse. yet your
heavenly Father feedeth them" Again,
the uselessness of worry. Which of you
by taking thought can add one cubit to
his stature? The hollow eyes, the wan
and haggard cheeks which are the result
of worry are of no avail Why worry
over that which is beyond your reach?
Fourth reason: Why worry over raj
ment? See how God clothes the lilies,
the frail flowers that cast into the
oven. The splendor of solomon was pro-

First Object of Search.

Our Lord is we'll called the model
preacher He here pauses to drive home
by one blow all that FIe has said: Seek
first the kingdom of God and His right
eousness, and all these things shall be
added to YOU The Thing of greatest
Importance: it enriches now. and it en-
riches forever. Seek it. 1t admits of
no delays Seek it eagerly. ceaselessly
until you have found it. 1t is the only
riches With it Lazarus was rich, though
he fed on crumbs, and without it Dives
was poor, though he was clothed daily
in purple and fine linen and Jared sump-
tuously every day. Get that, and with it
YOU shall have all needed things. "Al
these things. What things?" Food and
raiment. God gives the riches of the
kingdom. and all needed earthly things
are thrown In as a gratuity.

The Single Eye.

THE light of the body is the eye
This translation is incorrect. The eye IS
not itself the light, it contains the light
The eye is the lamp, the light-conveying
principle We all know the Importance
of an unobstructed light But a per-
verted light, that is, light that gives
false impressions, is worse than an OBJ
structed light. Seneca tells of an idiot
slave in his house who had suddenly be-
come blind. He says: Incredible as the
story seems, she is really unconscious OF
her blindness, and consequently begs her
attendant to go elsewhere because the
house is dark
The old moralist adds: You may be
sure that this at which we laugh In ner
happens to us ALL" But seeing falsely Is
worse than blindness. \ light that woulo
make the ditch appear to be the highway
would be fatal to both comfort and prog
ress. If the light that is in thee be
darkness, how great is that darkness.
Reason is given as our guide. Unob-
|structed by evil, illumined by the Spirit
|of God, it unerringly leads us in the
paths of obedience. But reason perverted
by evil is d fatal guide. The light that
is within US becomes darkness. Our guide
becomes d traitor who leads us into the
enemies camp. We see then that things
evil eye. We see, too, that reason
to the sinful man is no longer an ade-
quate guide. Hence revelation is given
TO teach us the Divine will, and the Spirit
lof God, shining upon the revealed truth
is our only infallible guide. Beware Of
the eye that maketh the riches of earth
|appear to be the greatest treasure.

WorI,iliness and Tr,ist.-Matthew 6l3-3i
~7HIS lesson should be carefully
studied. \ failure 10 compre-
bend its teachings has been
the cause of frequent and pitt
full laundering Men have de-
clared that these verses demonstrate the
truth of their contention that Christian
ity is cable-it cannot be reduced
to practice in such world as this. The
claim is based upon a miaconception of
the teaching of this Scripture. Our Lord
was not speaking Of either frugalty or
wealth. These may both exist side by
side with the requirements of the lesson
Lay not up for yourselves treasures
upon earth" The word treasure is the
key to the meaning of this phrase. 1t Is
that which is the supreme object of our
affections. 1t is simple truth that man
must love, and that some one thing Will
be the supreme object of his love. Our
Lord is warning us against allowing the
things of this world to become that OBJ
ject.
There can be no question but that the
danger of this is great. Myriads of our
fellows, in all ages, have made the at
tainment of wealth the object of their
lives. 1t becomes passion which abb
serbs every other passion Wealth De-
comes the criterion of all merit and Of
all excellence.
But the folly of this is too apparent for
argument. All earthly things decay. The
moth devours, the rust corrupts. the thief
purloins. Wealth that is outside of us Is
wealth that may be lost We may be i'm
poverished, bankrupted, ruined.
There are imperishable riches. To love
God supremacy is to lay up treasure in
heaven. We may send daily remttances
to the bank on the other side of Jordan
and we may know that they are safe.
They are forever beyond the reach of
moth or rust. or thief Their luster will
never fade. Their glory will never grow
dim. Our treasure is the idol of our
heart. For where your treasure u.s. there
will your heart be also The prohibit
ton, then. is not against wealth. but
against making it our god. This is an
unspeakable folly. Its prevalence is pain
full and shameful. This is an age in
which self and place are worshiped. 1t
! may be that some who do not suspect it
are guilty of this sin. 1t becomes each
for himself to press the inquiry, Where
is my treasure" There is such thing
