YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW


IL we could all follow the example
of Robert Burdette's life we would
be much happier. He says there are
two days OF the week upon which
and about which he never worries.
that they are carefree days which
are kept sacredly free from fear and
apprehension:
zone of these days is yesterday.
Yesterday. with all its cares and
frets. with all its pains and aches,
all its faults and blunders had passed
forever beyond the reach OF my re-
call. I cannot undo an act that l
wrought; | cannot unsay word that
] said on yesterday. All that it holds
of my life. of wrongs. regret and
sorrow. is in the hands OF the Mighty
Love that brings the honey out of
tie rock. and sweet waters out OF
the bitterest desert-that love that
can make the wrong things right,
that can turn weeping into laughter.
that can give beauty for ashes. the
garment of praise for the spirit OF
heaviness. joy of the morning for
woe of the night
Save for the beautiful memories
sweet and tender. that linger like the
perfume Of roses in the heart of the
day that IS gone. | have nothing to
do with yesterday II was mine It
is Gods.
There is left for myself, then.
but one day of the week-today. Any
man can fight the battles of today.
Any woman can resist the tempta-
tons of today. o. friends, it is only
when the burdens and cares of today
carefully measured out TO us by the
Infinite Wisdom and Might that gives
with them the promise. AS thy day.
so shall thy strength be- we wilfully
add the burdens of those two awful
eternities-yesterday and tomorrow
such burdens as only the mighty God
can sustain-that we break down.
IL isn't the experience of today that
drives men mad II is the remorse
for something that happened yester-
day the dread of tomorrow may dis
close.
These are Gods days. Leave
them with Him.
Therefore. think, and | do, and
journey but one day at q time.
That is the easy way. That is the
mans day. Nay, rather. that is our
day-God's and mine And while
faithfully and dutifully run my
course, and work my appointed task
on that day Of ours, God Almighty
and All loving takes care Of yester-
day and Tomorrow"

 About 3:30 and often earlier the eager customers would begin to take up posi- tions in front of the candy shop doors. like the crowds In our cities waiting for theatre tickets on great special occa- sions.
