the degree that they trust him to
make good those promises will they
be relieved Of anxiety and made
happy.
The first Of those disturbing causes
relates to their temporal necessities.
II is expressed in these words: What
shall We eat. what shall we drink,

the time Of old age. Shall We not
come to actual want?
Here Is the promise---it is only one

Look to cod's Promise.
The second cause for worry relates
to the providences Of life. So many
things occur that are. oh! so hard to
bear. Hard.earned money Is com.

would free us from all anxiety about

making our salvation possible. Then
he gave US q simple direction what to
