TWO GOLDEN DAYS.

There are two days of the
week upon which and about
which I never worry, tws care
free days kept sacredly free from
fear and apprehension.
One of these is Yesterday.
YesteI day with all it's cares aud
frets, with all It's pains and
aches, all it's faults, its mistakes
and blunders, has passed beyond
the reach of my recall / cannot
undo an act that l wrought. l
cannot unsay word that l SAID
on Yesterday. All that 1t holds
on life, Of regret and sorrow, is
in the hand of the Mighty Love
that can bring sweet waters out
Of the bitterest desart--the love
that can make the wrong things
right, that can turn weeping into
laughter, that can give beauty
for ashes, tho garment for praise
for the spirit of heaviness, JOY Of
the morning for the woe Of night.
Save for the beautiful memo
ries that linger, sweet aud tender
like the perfume Of roses, In the
heart of the day that is gone, |
have nothing to do yesterday.
And the other day l do not
worry about Is Tomorrow. To.
morrow, with all it's possible ad.
versities, its burdens, its perils,
It's large promises and poor per-
formaDce, It's failures and mis-
takes, is as far bsyond the reach
Of my mastery az It's dead sister
---yesl erday. Its sun will rise In
roseate splendor, or beyond q
mask of weeping clouds. But
IL will rise. Until then the same
love aud patience that held yes
terday, aud holds tomorrow,
shines with tender promise into
the heart Of today. | have no
possession in that unborn day OF
grace. All else in the infinite
Keeping of that Infinite Love
that holds for me the treasure Of
y esterday, the love that is higher
than the stars, wider than the
sky, deeper than the seas.
There ia left for myself, then,
but one day Of the week-today.
Any man can fight the battles OF
today: Any woman can carry
the burdens Of just one day
