the follower of Christ.
Suppose that you possess n valu-
able property, You entrust it to one
in whom you have absolute conf
fidence. You have tried him again and
again and he has never failed.
Around you may be panic and dis

closing. What do you care? You are
sorry for those who are losing, but
you have no worry for yourself. You
know that your all has been deposited
