The Good Hope.

When We look around us and see the
magnitude Of evil aboundng, and see
how the workers of iniquity flourish and
prosper. we are tempted to think God is
unmindful of us. But the worldly pros
perity of evil doers is not new thing or
new condition of our times. 1t was the
same in David's day. and We have his
inspired sermon on that subject for our
instruction and comfort FPS, 3I)
Fret not thyself because OF evildoers,
Neither be thou envious against the workers of
iniquity.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass
And wither the green herb
Trust in the Lord and do good
SO shalt thou dwell in the land, and verify thou
shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the Lord
And He shall give thee the desires of thine heart
Commit thy way unto the Lord:
Trust also in Him. and He Shall Lring it to pass
And He shall bring forth thy Righteousness as
the light
And thy judgment as the MONDAY. .-ss -

messages powerfully presented to them in

proceeds upon moral basis. They rise
by righteousness and inevitably fall by
wickedness. He does not pay every Sat

corruption is ignorance, or disregard of
God Leave out God. all corruption Is
possible and decadence is certain. Grace
is the enemy of the grogshop, and vice

g. The lonesomeness OF a man who
stands up and boldly opposes wrong.
Grit is as necessary as grace. BE good
and you'll be lonesome it is said.

Little Matt Explained That the Two
Pigs He Was Driving Got
His Goat.

Matt Perkins, engine driver on the
New York Central, thought his little
farm, out near Peekskill, wouldn't be
complete without pigs. So he bought
a couple and had them sent out
much to the dismay of Willie, his
oldest boy, who tearfully protested
that the family would be disgraced II
their acquaintance found they kept
pigs.
But the father was obdurate, and
assigned to Matt, Jr., his six-year-
and youngest hopeful, the task OF
caring for the pigs. This has proved
a hard task, and little Matt has been
having his troubles during the hot
weather
One day the pigs, being pigs, roamed
far afield. Matte, rounding them up,
drove them past the veranda, where
his mother happened to be. Matte
was talking to the pigs in no uncer'
tain terms, and It must be confessed
he used a word which he really should
not. Where he got It no one knows.
The mother promptly called him to
task. and Matte. having penned in
the pigs, returned, hot and red oi
