He will make the very kind of representa tive we need. He once saved my life from drowning.” “Do you really want to see Gibbs elected?’ said a solemn-faced old man. “I do, indeed. I would give anything to sce him elected,” answered the bare. “Then never let anybody know he saved your life,” counseled the solemn- faced man.

Dr. Talmage Says It Is a Bad Habit That Unfits Many to Properly Discharge Their Duties. Ged Will Meet Our Exigencies as They Arise. | {Copyright 1801.1 Wasmxarox, D. C.—In this discourse Dr. Talmage? shows the folly of allowing forebodings to influence us and how ex- pectation of evil weakens and destroys; text, Matthew wi 34, “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” The life of every man, woman and child is as closely under the divine care as A woman or child. There are no accidents. As there is a law of storms in the natural world, so there is a Jaw of trouble, a law of disaster. a law of misfortime, but the imary, and the most of those anticipated never come. At any rate, there is no cause of complaint against God. See how His sunshine filling the earth with glory, making rainbow for the storm and halo for the mountain, greenness for the moss, saffron for the cloud and erystal for the billow and procession of bannered flame through the opening gates of the morning, chaflinches to ring, rivers to glitter, seas and over-reaching all other splendor with deliverance e- dominion through the Great with its world thrones a lost of I discourse the sin of borrowing and heart into a de- fits him for duty. 1 bushes in ay garden.

Has God been hard with thee that thou shouldst be forebod- ing? Has He stinted thy board? Has He covered thee with rags’ Has He spread traps for thy feet and galled thy cup and rasped thy soul and wrecked thee with storm and thundered upon thee with a life full of calamity? If your father or brother come into your bank, where gold and silver are lying about, you do not watch them, for you know they are honest, but if an entire stranger come by the safe you kee) your eve on him, for you do not know his de- signs. So some men treat God not as a father, but a stranger, and act suspi- ciously toward Him, [It is high time you began to thank God for present blessing; thank Him for vour children, happy buoy. ant and bounding: praise Him for your home, with its fountain of song and laughter: adore Him for morning light and evening shadow; praise Him for fresh, cool water bubbling from the rock, leap ing in the cascade, soaring in the mist, falling in the shower, dashing against the rocks and clapping its hands in the tem. pest; love Him for the grass that cushions the earth and the clouds that curtain the sky apd the foliage that waves in the for est; thank Him for a Bible to read and a Saviour to deliver, Many Chriistians think it a bad sign te be jubilant, and their work of seif-exam- ination is a hewing down of their brighter experiences.

Let every week bear its own burdens. The shadows of to-day are thick enough. Why implore the presence of other shadows? The cup is already dis- tasteful. Why halloo to vio for dis- tant to come and wring out more gall in the bitterness? Are we such champions that, having won the belt in former en- counters, we can go forth to challenge all the future? Here are business men just able to man- age affairs as they now are. They can pay their rent and meet their notes and manage affairs as they now are, but how if a panic should come and my investments should fail? Go to-morrow and write on your daybook or on your ledger or on your money safe, “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof,” Do not worry about notes that are far from due. Do not pile up on your counting desk the franca] anxieties of the next twenty vears, The God who has taken care of your worldly occupa- tion, guarding your store irom the torch of the incendiary and the key of the bur- glar, will be as faithful in 1910 as in 1001, (God's hand is mightier than the machina- ations of stock gamblers or the plots of political demagogues or the red right arm of revolution, and the darkuees will fly and the storm fall dead at Ilis feet. So there are persons in feeble health, and they are worried about the future. They make out very well now, but they are bothering themselves about futu pleurisies on rheumatisms and neural- gias and fevers. Their evesight is feeble, and they are worried lest they entirely lose it. Their hearing is indistinet, and they are alarmed lest they become entirely deaf. They felt chilly to-day and are ex- weeting an attack of typhoid. They have Pe troubled for weeks with some per- plexing malady and dread becoming life- long invalids. Take care of vour health now and trust God for the future. Be not guilty of the blasphemy of asking Him to take care of you while you sleep with vour windows tight down or eat chicken salad at 11 o'clock at night or sit down on a cake of ice to cool off. Be pru- dent and then be confident. Some of the sickest people have been the most useful. It was so with Payson, who died deaths daily, and Robert Hall, who used to stop in the midst of his sermon and lie down on the pulpit sofa to rest and then go on Theodore Frelinghuysen had a great horror of dying till the time came, and then went peacefully Take care of the present and let the future look out for itself. “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Again, misfor- 3 r.$ ¢ the Mbit oO HY Wf borrowing tune i» cause it unfits us for it when it does come We cannot always have smooth sailing.
