First, such a habit of mind nnd heart is wrong because it put" one into a de spondency that ill fits him for duty. I planted two rose bushcH in my garden.. J'he one thrived beautifully; the other perished. 1 found the dead one on the shady side of the limine. Our dispositions,, like our plants, need sunshine. Kxpec-' fancy of reunite in the cause of many ec-i tilur and rcligioua failures. Fear of bank ruptcy has uptorn many a tine businers and cent the man dodging among the note shavers. Fear of grander and abuse has often invited the long-lir:iked vulture of; acorn und backbiting. Many of the miri-, fortunes of life, like hyenas, ileo if you courageously meet them. flow poorly prepared for religious duty in a man who Kits down under the gloom of expected misfortune! f he prays, lie anys, "I do not think I shall be an swered." K he gives, he says, "t expect they will steal the money." llclen Chalm ers told me that her father, Thomas Chalmers, in the darkest hour of the Krce Church of Scotland and when the woes of the land secilird to weigh upon hia heart, said to his children, "t'ome, let us go out nnd play ball or fly kite," and the only dlllieulty in the play was that the children could not keep up with their father. The McCbeynes and the Summer fields of the church who did the most good toiled in the Hiinlight. Away with the horrors! They distil poison. Thov dig graves, and if they could climb so higli they would own the rejoicings of heuven with sobs and wailing. You will have nothing but misfortune in (he future if you sedulously watch lor' it. How shall a man catch the riirht kind of fish if he arranges line and hook and' bait to catch lizards end water serpents?. Hunt for bats and hawks, and bats nnd hawks you will find. Hunt for robin red-' breasts, nnd you will find robin red breasts. One night an eagle and an owl got irdrti fierce battle. The eagle, unused to Owjiight, was no match for the owl,' which "is most at home in the darkness,' and the king of the air fell helpless, but the morning rose, and with it rose the eagle, and the owls and the nighthawks and the bale came a second time to the eombat. Now, the cunle in the sunlight, with n slroUc of his talons and a great cry cleared the air, and his enemies, with, torn feathers and snlashed with blood, tumbled into the thickets. Ve are the children of light. In the night of despond ency you will have no chance against vour enemies tliHt. flock up from beneath, but trusting in od and standing in the sunshine of the promises you shall "renew your youth like the eagle. ' Again, the habit of borrowing trouble is wrong, because it has a tendency to make us overlook present blessing. To slake man's thirst the rock is cleft, nnd cool water, leap into his brimming cup. To feed his hunger the fields how down with bending wheat, nnd the cattle come down from the clover pastures to give 'him milk, and the orchards yellow and ripen, casting their juicy fruits into his lap. Alas, that amid such exuberance of blessing man should growl as though lie were a soldier on half rations or a sailor on short allowance; that a man should stand neck deep in harvests looking for ward to famine: that one should feel the., (drone pulses of health marching with reg ular tread all the avenues of life and yet tremble al the expected assault of sick ness; that a man should sit in his plennant home, fearful that ruthless want will some day rattle the broken window sash with tempest and sweep the coals from the hearth and pour hunger into the bread tray: that a man fed by Iliui who owns al the harvests should exei:t to starve; that, one whom (iod loves and surrounds with benediction and attends with angelic escort and hovers over with more than motherly fondness should bo looking for a heritage of tears! Has God been hard with thee that thou shouMat he forebod ing? Has He stinted thy board? Has lie covered theo with rugs? 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 bunk, where gold and silver are tying nhout, vou do not watch them, for yon know they are honest, but if an entire. sU'angcr come by the sufe you keep your, eve on him. for you do not know Ids de-' signs. So MjimT'men treilt God not as a) f.'ther, but a stranger, and act suspi-; cionsly toward Him. ft is high time you, began to thank (Jod for present blessing; j thuiik Him for vour children, hapiiy buoy ant and bounding: praise Him for your borne, 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-1 in? in the cuseade. soaring in the mist,, falling in the shower, dashing against, the ro;ks and clapping its hands in the tem pest; love Htm for the grass that cushions the earth anil the clouds that curtain the, sky and the foliage that, waves in the for est: thank 1 1 i m for a Jiihlc to rend und a Saviour to deliver. i Many Christians think it a bad sign to; be jubilant, and their work of sclf-eiam-ination is a hewing down of their brighter' experiences. Like a boy with a new jack-: knife hacking everything he comes across,' so their self-examination is a religious cutting to pieces of the greenest things they can lay their hands on. They im agine they are doing God's service when they are going about borrowing trouble, and borrowing il at thirty per oent., which is always a sure precursor of bank ruptcy. . Again, the habit of borrowing trouble' is wrong because the present is sulftcientlv taxed with trial. - Gud sees that we ail need a certain amount of trouble, and so, He apportions it for all the days and years' of our life. Alas for the policy of gather ing it all up for one day or year! Cruel thing to put upon the back of one camel! all the cargo intended for the entire euro-: Van. I never look at nay memorandum book to see what engagements and duties are tar ahead. let every week bear its own burdens. The shadows of to-dny are Uncle enough. Why "implore the presence of other shadows? The cup is already dis tasteful. Why halloo to disasters far dis tant to come and wring out more gull In tne bitterness? Are we such champioun tLat, having won the belt in former en counters, we can go forth to challenge all the future? Here uie husiness men just able to man age affairs as they r.ow are. They can pay their rent and meet their notes and mamige alfuiin as Uiey now are, but hoi u panic should coino and my investments should fad? Go to morrow slid wnl on your tisybocl: or on your Irdger er on y;nr U"ii.t' '.vTuIfigiaui. gnto 'tli d.y is Urn evil rnereot." Ho lmi worry niiout notes that are far from due. I)o not pile up on your counting desk the financial anxieties of the next twenty years. The God who has taken care of your worldly occupa tion, guarding your store from the torch of the incendiary and the key of the bur glar, will be as faithful in 1!10 ns in liKll. (fod's hand is mightier than the rmii-hinn-atinna of stock gamblers or Ihe plots of political demagogues or the red right arm of revolution, and the darkness will fly and the storm fall dead at His feet. So there are icraons in feeble health, and they nre worried about the future. They make ont very well now, but they arc bothering themselves about future pleurisies and rheumatisms and neural gins and fever. Their eyesight is feeble, r nd they arc worried !st they entirely lose ii,. Their hearing is indistinct, nnd they are alarmed lest they become entirely deaf. They felt chilly o-day and are ex pecting an attack of typhoid. They liavo been troubled for weeks with some per plexing malndy and dread becoming life long invalids. Take care of your health now and trust God for the future, lie not guilty of the blasphemy of asking Him to take can; of you while you sleep with your windows tight down or cut. chicken snlnd at 11 o'clock nt night or sit down on a rake of ir'e In cool off. He pru dent and then be coniident. Some of the sickest people have been the most useful. It was so -vith Pavsnii, who died death daily, nnd Hubert Hall, who used to stop in the midt of his sermon and lie down on the pulpit sofa to rest nnd I hen go on again. Theodore 1'relinghuvscn had a great horror of dying till (he time came, and then went peacefully. Take care of the present and let the future Inn!; out for itself. 'Sulhcicnt u.ito the day is the evil thereof." AR.iin, (.tic iVibil. of lio.vou-ing misfor tune is wrong because it uulits us for it when it actually dots come. We cannot always have smooth sailing. Life's path will sometimes tumble nniniig dccliviticn and mount it steep nnd be tiioin pierced, .ludas will kiss our cheek and then sell us for thirty pieces of silver. Ifiunan scorn will try to crucify us between two thievis. Wc will hear the iron gate of the sepul ehcr creuk and grind ns it shuts in our kiudred. !ut we cannot get ready for these things by forebodings. They who fight imaginary woes will come out of breath into conflict with the armed dis asters of the future. Their ammunition will have hcei wasted long before they come under the guns of real misfortune. Jtoys in attempting to jump a wall some times go so far back in order to get impe tus that when they come up they arc ex hausted, nnd thee long races in order to gi t spring enough to vault trouble bring us up nt last to the dreadful reality with our strengi h gone. Filially, lit? habit of borrowing trouble js wrong because it is unbelief. Coil has promised to lake care of us. The Hible blooms with assurances. , Your hunger will be fed, your sickness will be alle viated, your sorrows will be healed. God will sandul your feet nnd smooth your path, and along by frowning crag and opening grave sound the voices of victory and good cheer. The summer clouds that seem thunder charged really carry in their bosom harvests of wheat and shocks of corn nnd vinevnrds purpling for the wine press. The wrathful wave will kits the feet of the great storm walker. Our great Joshua will command and above your soul the sun of prosperity will atn'nd stin. Itlrak nnd nave struck 1'nlnios shall ha -o apocalyptic vision, and you shalj hear the cry oi elders and ihe sweep of wings nnd trumpets of salvation nnd the voice of hal leluiah unto God forever. Your way may wind along dangerous bridle paths and amid wolf's hnwl and the scream of the vulture, biit the way still wind upward till angels g-.ir.rd it end trees of lifo overarch it, and thrones line it. and crystalline fountains leap on it, and the nnthway ends at gate that are pearl, and streets that are gold, and tem ples that arc always open, and hills tbnt ipiakc with perpetual song and n city mingling forever Sabbath and jubilee and triumph nnd coronation. I-t plensnrp chant her siren song; 'Tis not the song for me. To weeping il. will turn ere lone. For (his is beaven's decree. Hut there's n song the ransomed sing To Jesus, their exalted King. With joyful heart and tongue Oh, that's the song for me! Couniirc. my brother! the father does not give to his son at school enough money to last him several years, but ns the bills for tuition and board and clothing and books conic in pays them. So God will not give you grace all at once for the future, but will meet all your exigencies us they tonie. Through enrnest prayer (rust Him. People ascribe (he success of a certain line of steamer to business skill, anil know not the fact that when (hit line of summers started the wife of the proprie tor passed (he whole of each day when a steamer sailed in prayer to God for its safely and the success of the lice, l'ut ;'vcrt thiug. in God's hands and leave it there. Large interest money to pay will soon eat up a farm, a store, an estate and tlie interest oj borrowed troubles will swamp anybody. ' Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Thtf Mountain Creation. Moc was to build the tabernacle after l..e pattern he had received in the mount, jod was the architect. Moses oulv the builder. That method saved much discus lion and trouble with the workers about Hie tabernacle. There are some things :he world cannot change; God's plan for a human life is never out of date; the uiouiilaiti architecture is perfect. It is aci'Jier Crc'nn nor Roman; it does not follow any hi-iau school; it is after the heuvenly design. See that you make your srcl itecture after the holy pattern, per fected from foundation (o capstone. Strange to say that while there is wide difference of opinion as to what is artistic and beautiful in human workmanship, men are of one mind when thev stand be fore the niounluiu-creatioii. The sermon on the mount is the pat tern of the mount, the architecture of a right life. When men cry: "Hack to Christ," urging us to coiuorm to the principles and rules of the Master, luiy are simply repeating to all men the command t):"t was given to Moses: "See that thou make all things ac cording to tho pattern hewed theo in the mount." What perfect harmony there would be among the life-building in the world if we followed the heavenly de signs! Uuptist Union. Xba Hotting; or a Hope. The setting of a (jieat hnpo is like the sel cing of the sun. l'he brightness of our life is gone. Shadows of evening fall around us and the world seems but a dim O'cfleetiou itself a broader shadow; we look forward into the coining lonely night. ;The soul withdraws into itself. Then stars arise and the night is holy. II. W. Longfellow. PROMINENT PEOPLE. Ylco-Prfwith'lit Itonftevclt will visit MoiilRimiery, Al;i., Ihe second week In November". Wlllinui J.

HH: SABBATH SCIKJOL .iitcniat'mn.l 1 Lesson' Crimuiii.s For Scplcmbcr 15. licbjctt: Jacob a Crlnct With (led, tlcu. xxxil., l-32--(jol(lca Text, l.ukt xvlii., I-Mern-ory Verses, 24 28--Commentary no Ihe Day's Lesson 1. "Went on his way." In some tfny God had spoken to Jacob and told him to return to his native laud. Gen. 1)1: 0. Tim lrd would not permit him to remain away longer, for he might become per verted tin his religious life and forget the promise of which he was heir, and then, 'i" co"''' " longer live in peace with Italian it was time for him to return. "Angela of God." A host of angels. See 2 Kings 6: 17. "Met him." Literally, "came, drew near to hiin." 2. "God' host." The angels are called hosts. 1. From their multitude. 2. From their order. 3. .From their power for the protection of the saints. "Mahauairn." "Two camps.'' 3. "Sent mes.ciiKcrs." These messen gers were probably sent before he saw the host of angels, for they seem to have re turned fonn niter thi. "Land of Heir." This is on the cast and south of the Demi S': .1. "I nto my lord." Yielding paciilci'i great, offenses." ICccles. 10: 4. .Ic.coii humbled himself before his hmtiir, rcci p niing him as lord, anil putting liir.iscf down as a servant. 8. "Cometh to meet thee." 'ihe mind of Lsiui was in that wavering stair when the slightest incident might soothe him int.i good will, or arouse hi:n to vengeance. 7. "Greatly afraid." The tear of his brother was the direct cuiiscuuciu-e of his sin. the sin that embittered his wlmle life. "Two hands." Disposal of his company into two bands, so that if one was al tacked the other might escape, was char acteristic of Jacob. He was a scheming man, and never neglected to take every posiole precaution. 0. "O (Jod oi my father Abraham." Tn this great emergency he had recourse lo prayer. 10. "Xot worthy." The Hebrew expres sion is "little among all the mercies;" leal is. too little to have received lesi: less than all. "With my staff." When he passed over (his Jordan he had nothing but his stall', but now he lias wites and children and flocks nnd herds. 11. "The band of my brother." Jacob knew (hat his brother was co-.ii'ig town -d him with. an army, and lie feared lie worst. "The mother with ihe children." He must have had uu av.-Jiil opinion o,' ir's brother when he used this expression, which implies the utmost crcelly, proceed ing in the work of slaughter lo total exter mination. 12. "Thou saidst." Cod's promises are the sure ground of all our hopes, and "to remind God of His promi.-cs is one of the privileges of prayer. ' 111. "A present for Emi." Jacob did not regard praying us n : .institute ior t ic use of means. It was rather a guide, an inspiration from God in their use. 14, 15. "Two hundred," etc. We cc.n learn something of his great prosperity from the fact that this pi est nl to F.saa consisted of 5KH annuals. 10. "Kvcry ilrove by themselves." The disposition of this prisceiy present in sev eral droves, following one another at intei yals, was such as to reiieut the favorable impression made bv each, ns they success ively came before i'isiiu, accompanied with u conciliatory message. "Pass over before me." 'I hey were now near the fords of i.ie Jabbok, close to the region of expected danger. "JO. "Will aprnse him." Jacob hoped ti pacify his brother and turn e.way his au ger by the presents, and by Die "w. uds u ostccin which he had instructed his serv ants to speak lo Ksau, 22. "Kose' up that night." Jacob tool: bis family across in the night when there would be no opportunity for the enemy to sec or to hinder. "Ford Jabbok." The Jabbok was a stream flowing into the Jor dan about two-thirds of the distance froi.i the Sea of Galilee to the Ui ad Sea. "4. "Was left alone." To be left a'oae vith (too is Ihe only true way of arriving; nt a just knowledge of ourselves and our ways. "'There wrestled." From Hosea 12: 4 we learn that the wrestling of Jacoo was not merely a physical exercise, but also a spiritual one. "A man." This v.as doubtless the Lord Jesus Christ, fn Ho-ea 12: 4, the man who wrestled witii him is called the angel, and the Lord of hosts: and in verse 30 of this chapter Jacob cells Him God. 2.1. "He prevailed not." It would have been easy enough for the angel to prci'iiil physicullv, bat the Lord wa endcavot in-;! to lead Jacob to a complete abandonment of himself. "He touched his thigh." The thigh is ihe pillar of a man's strength; rlucob was thus shown his utter help.ess ness and dejendcrice on God- '(ioii cuu bring down to the dust the stoutest Cil. "I will not," etc. To say this fr m (he heart is the secret of ell true strength. "Thou bless inc." The blessing of God on the heart is of greater .value than the best this world can give. 27. "What is thy name 7" God directed attention to his name as representing Irs character. "He said, .acob.'' That is, "siipphiutcr." Thus did Jacob admit the true state of his heart. 28. "Israel." A prince of God, or one powerful with God. Cod bud taught him that his greatest enemy was not Ksau. hut himself. "Fower with hid." The only sure way of having power wilh men is (o have power wilh God first. F-urnextness. persevorunce, submission, faith these will move both God and man. "41 ant pre vailed." All of (rod's people are wrestlers, Great things are promised to tliose who give themselves fuliv lo God, not liie leut of which is that tiiey shall prevail with God. 211. "Tell n:e lliy name." Ileveal thy elf to nie more fully. "He blessed him there." The angel did not gratify Jacob's curiosity when he at-tcrt his name, but he did bless him. 1. Consider the pjace.. it was a place (1) of grtal trial (vs. 4i, 7l; (2) of humble confession (v. IK); 11!) ot pleading (vs. 11, 12); (4) of communion (v, VA); Hi) of conscious weakness. V. SI. 2. Consider the blessing. He was (1) saved from a great peril (v. 11); (2) he was ahic to leel that a great breach wus healed (,: 4); (3) be had won a new name and rant: tv. 28), and was mude a prince on the spot; (4) lie was now under a fresh anoint ing, and was a superior man ever after. 30. "Peniel." Or I'cnuel (v. 31), mean iug "the face of God." "Sly life is pre served." These words have a deep spirit ual meaning. The only way in which ihn life can be preserved is to meet the angcj Christ; He is the life. 31. "The sun rose." See Mai. 4: 2. Tin rising sua was u type of the spiritual sun rise upon hia soul. "Halted," etc, W'heth er Jacob was healed at this iiuic, or wa ever after a cripple, is mere conjecture. 32. "Hat not of the sinew." What this sinew was neither Jew nor Christian cuu tell.

"The crop year ends with a visible supply close to a million bales, by no .means the fevcre scarcity estimated earlier in the season ; but a still more depressing fact is the decrease in takings by Northern .spinners of about aoo.coo hales, as compared with the average of the three preceding years.
