Text, Matâ€" thew vi., 34: "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." The life of every man, woman and CMid is as closely under the divine eare as though such person were the enly man, woman or child. There are no accidents. As there is a law of storms in the natural world, so there is a law of trouble, a law of disaster, a law of misfortune; but the majority of troubles of life are imaginary, and the most of those anticipated never come. At any rate, there is no cause of complaint against God. See how much He has @one to make you happy, His sunâ€" shine filling the earth with glory, making rainbow for the storm and healo for the mountain, greenness for the moss, saffron for the cloud, and erystal for the billow and procession of bannered flame through the openâ€" ing gates of the morning, chaffinches to sing, rivers to glitter, seas to chant, and springs to blossom, and overpowering all other sounds with its song and overarching all other splendor with its triumph, covering up all other beauty with its garâ€" lands and outflashing all thrones with its dominionâ€"deliverance for a lost world through the Great Redeemer. First, such a habit of mind and heart is wrong, because it puts one into a despondency that ill fits him for duty. I planted two rosebushes in my garden; the one thrived beauâ€" tifully, the other perished. I found the dead one oh the shady side of the house. Our dispositions, like our plants, need sunshine. Expectâ€" ancy of repulse is the cause of many secular and religious fallures. Fear of bankruptcy has uptorn many fine business and sent the man dodgâ€" ing among the noteâ€"shavers. . Fear of slander and abuse has often inâ€" I dflso.wrsé of the sin of borrowing trouble. vited all the longâ€"beaked vultures of scorn and backbiting. Many of the misfortunes of life, like hyenas, flee it you courageously meet them. How poorly prepared for religious duty is a man who sits down under the gloom of expected misfortune! If he prays he says, ‘I do not think I swhall be answered." If he gives, bhe says, "I expect they will steal the money." Helen Chalmers told me that her father, Thomas Chalmers, in the darkest hour of the history of the Free Church of Scotland and when the woes of the land seemed to weigh upon his heart sald to his children, "Come, let us go out and play ball or fly kite," and the only difficulty in the play was that the children could not keep up with their father. The â€" McCheynes and the Summerfields of the church who alid the moet good tolled in the sunâ€" light. Away â€" with the . horrors. They distill poison; they dig graves, and if they could climb so high they would drown the rejoicings of heaven with sobs and wailing. You will have nothing but misforâ€" tune in the future if you sedulously watch for it. How shall a man catch the right kind of fish if he arâ€" | ranges his line and hook and bait to catch lizards and water serpents? I Hunt for bats and hawks, and bats and hawks you will find. Hunt for robin â€" redbreasts. One night an eagle and an owl got into a fierce battle. The eagle, unused to the night, was no match for the owl. which is most at home in the darkâ€" ness, and the king of the air fell helpless. But the morning _ rosé, and with it rose the eagle, and the owls and the nighthawks and the bats came a second time to the comâ€" bat. Now, the eagle in the sunâ€" light, with a stroke of his talons and a great cry, cleared the air, and his enemies, with torn feathers and eplashed with blood, tumbled â€" into the thickets. Ye are the children of light. In the night of despondency you will have no chance against your enemies that flock up from beneath; but, trusting in God and standing in the sunshine of the promises, you ghall "renew your youth like the eaâ€" gle." Again, the habit of borrowing trouâ€" ble is wrong because it has a tendency to make us overlook present blessing. To slake man‘s thirst the rock is cleft, and cool waters leap into his brimâ€" ming cup. To feed his hunger the fields bow down with bending wheat, and the cattle come down from the clover pasâ€" tures to give him mÂ¥lk, and the orchâ€" ards yellow and ripen, casting their Juicy fruits into his lap. Alas, that amid such exuberance of blessing man . should growl as though he were a solâ€" dier on half rations or a sailor on short allowance: that a man should stand neck deep in harvests looking forward to famine; that one should feel the strong pulses of health marching with regular tread through all the avenues of life and yet tremble at the expectâ€" ed assault of sickness; that a man should sit in his pleasant 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 Him who owns all the harvests should expect to starve; that one whom God loves and surâ€" rounds with benediction and attends with angelic escort and hovers over with more than motherly fondness should be looking for a heritage of tears! Has God been hard with thee that thou shouldst be foreboding? 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 vaur bank where gold and silver are If your: ieE O SE Eacn o Cateciins M rens yeour bank where gold and silver are Iying about, you do not watch them, for you knrow they are honest, but if «n entire stranger comes by the safe you keep your eye on him, for you do not know his designs. So some men treat God; not as a father, but & stranger, and act suspiciously toward Him. It is high time you began to thank Go® for present blessing. Thank him for your children, happy, buoyant 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, leaping into the cascade, soaring in the mist, falling in the shower,. dashing against the rock and clapping its hands in the tempest. Love him for the grass that cushions the earth and the clouds that curtain the sky and the foliage that waves in the forest. Thank Him for a Bible to read and a Savior to deliver. Many Christians think it a bad sign to be jubilant, and their work of self examination is a hewing down of their brighter experiences. Like a boy with a new jackknife, hacking everything he comes acrogs, so their self examination is a religious cutting to pieces of the greenest things they can lay their hands on. They imagine they are doing God‘s service when they are going about borrowing trouble, and borrowâ€" ing it at 30 per cent, which is always & _sure precursor of bankruptcy. _ Again, the habit of borrowing trouble is wrong because the present is suffiâ€" tiently taxed with trial. God sees that we all need a certain amount of trouâ€" ble, and so he apportions it for all the days and years of our life. Alas fot the policy of gathering it all up for ont ’ day or year! Cruel thing to put upon the back of one camel all the cargo i» | tended for the entire caravan. I never ‘100k at my memorandum book to see what engagements and duties are far ahead. Let every week bear its own burdens. The shadows of the day are thick enough. ‘Why implore the presâ€" ence of other shadows? The cup is alâ€" ready distasteful. Why halloo to disâ€" asters far distant to come and wring out more gall in the bitterness? Are we such champions that, having won the belt in former encounters, we can | go forth to challenge all the future? Here are business men just able to manage 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 toâ€"morâ€" row and write on your daybook or on your ledger, on your money eafe, "Sufâ€" ficient unto the day is the evil thereâ€" of." Do not worry about notes that are far from due. Do not pile up on your counting desk the financial anxâ€" ieties of the next 20 years. The God who has taken care of your worldly occupation, guarding your store from the torch of the incendiary and the key of the burglar, will be as faithful in 1910 as in 1901. God‘s hand is mightiere than the machinations of stock gamblers or the plots of political demagogues or the red right arm of revolution, and the darkness will fily and the storm fall dead at His 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 future pleurisies and rheumatisms and neuralâ€" glas and fevers. Their eyesight is feeble, and they are worried lest they entirely lose it. Their hearing is inâ€" distinct, and they are alarmed lest they ‘become entirely deaf. They felt chilly toâ€"day and are expecting an atâ€" tack of typhoid. They have been troubled for weeks with some perplexâ€" ing malady and dread becoming lifeâ€" long invalids. Take care of your 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 your 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 prudent, and then be confident. Some of the sickest people have been the most useful. It was so with Payâ€" son, who died deaths daily, and Robâ€" ert Hall, who used to stop in the midst of hie sermon and lie down on the pulâ€" pit sofa to rest and then go on again. 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." ; Finally, the habit of borrowing | trouble is wrong because it is unbelief. i God has promised to take care of us. !The RBible blooms with assurances. !Yuur hunger will be fed; your sickâ€" | ness will be alleviated; your sorrows | will be healed; God will sandal your feet and smooth your path, and along lby yawning crag and opening grave sound the voices of victory and good ‘cheer. The summer clouds that seem | thunder charged really carry in their t bosom harvests of wheat and shocks of corn and vineyards purpling for the winepress. The wrathful wave will kiss the feet of the great Storm Walker. Our great Joshua will command, and above your soul the sun of prosperity will stand still. Bleak and waveâ€" struck Patmos shall have apocalyptic vision, and you shall hear the cry of elders and the sweep of wings and Again, the habit of borrowing misâ€" fortune is wrong because it unfits us for it when it actually does come. We cannot always have emooth sailing. Life‘s path will sometimes tumble among declivities and mount a eteep and be thorn pierced. Judas will kiss our check and then sell us for 30 pieces of silver. Human scorn will try to crucify us between two thieves. We will hear the iron gate of the sepulcher creak and grind as it shuts in our kinâ€" dred, but we cannot get ready for these things by forebodings. They who fight imaginary foes will come out of breath into conflict with the armed disasters of the future. Their ammunition will have been wasted long before they come under the guns of real misforâ€" tune. Boys in attempting to jump & wall sometimes go so far back in orâ€" der to get impetus that when they come up they are exhausted, and these long races in order to get spring enough to vault trouble brings us up at last to the dreadful reality with our strength gone. ag. trumpets of salvation and the voice of hallelujah unto God forever. Your way may wind along dangerous bridle paths and amid wolf‘s how!l and the scream of the vulture, but the way still winds upward till angels guard it, and trees of life overarch it, and thromes line it, and crystalline founâ€" tains leap on it, and the pathway ends at gates that are pearl and streets that are gold and temples that are alâ€" ways open and hills that quake with perpetual song and a city mingling forâ€" ever Sabbath and jubilee and triumph and coronation. Let pleasure chant her siren song; "Tis not ‘the song for me; To weeping it will turn ere long, For this is heaven‘s decree. But there‘s a song the ransomed sing To Jesus, their exalted King, With joyful heart and tongue; Oh, that‘s the song for me. Courage, my brother! The father does not give to his son at school enough money to last him several years, but, as the bills for tuition and board and clothing and books come in, pays them. So God will not give you grace all at once for the future, but will meet all your exigencies as they come. Through earnest prayer trust Him. People ascribe the success of a certain line of steamers to business skill and know not the fact that when that line of steamers started the wife of the proâ€" prietor passed the whole of each day when a steamer started in prayer to God for its safety and the success of the line. Put everything in God‘s hands and leave it there. Liarge interâ€" est money to pay will soon eat up & farm, a store, an estate, and ‘the inâ€" terest on borrowed troubles will swamp anybody. ‘"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

Teachings.â€"God our Creator is able to,create us anew and give us a new nature. ‘The â€" Psalmist prayed, " Create in me a clean heart, O God." In yielding to the inducements held out by Satan, man disobeyed God and accepted "the world," which St. John says consists in "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life"; and in returring to God it is netessary to forsake "the world" before we can expect to be forgiven. PRACTICAL SURVEY. The first lesson of the quarter takes us back to the beginning of all created things. In panoramic display the sacred writer here sees in vision the successive steps in the work of creation â€" pass before his mind. t Several things concerning man are suggested. 1. His position as relatâ€" ed to the rest of creation. He was the crowning work of creation,. . In intelligence immeasurably separated from all beneath him. 2. HMis charâ€" acter, "in the image of God." His moral nature patterned after the divine. 3. His dominion. Gon. i. 26. Supremacy was man‘s by right in creation. To dominion shall man be restored in redemption. f The picture of man‘s primitive coundition is delightful to contemâ€" plate. but it is soon marred. Sin beâ€" gan in listening to â€" suggestions against the divine goodness, i. c., in unbelief. Through Jesus Christ there is deliverance from sin and all its consequences for all who will accept it. _ _ How soon did sin overrun the world! How greedily did men run after evill In a very brief spece, God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imaginaâ€" tion of the thoughts [purposes and desires] of his heart was only evil continually. _ _ C 4 ho The call and history of Abraham ilâ€" lustrate God‘s method of calling and dealing with His church. As he was called to separate himsel{ to follow God, so the church. Gen. xii. 1; II. Cor. vi. 17, 18. Abraham‘s descendâ€" ants were the fruit of miraculous inâ€" terposition in answer to his faith. God‘s Church is kept alive in the earth in answer to the faith and prayers of His children. _ Abraham‘s dealings with Lot ilâ€" lustrate the true spirit of a child of God. Note, 1. His gentleness. "Let thero be no strife" 2. His complete victory over solf. (a) HMe probably jined Abraham because he found it profitable. Many join the church toâ€" day to advance solfish ends. (b) He had no care for the interests _ of Abrabam. So these in their relation to the church. (c) His chotee showed his absolute selfishness. It had referâ€" ence to his own profit only. But the end of it all was disaster to him. Thus shall it be with all who are thus controlled. Abrabam‘s faith in God‘s promise appears to have been greatly tosted. The promise was, "I will make of thee a great nation." He pleads his childless condition and God encourâ€" ages his faith by assuring him that his seed shall be as the stars of Heaven. Heb. vi. 16â€"18. It is written, "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him, and He will show them His covenant." Psalm xxyv. 14. Lesson seven is a striking illustration of this. Note (a) Faith is mutual. Abraham trusted God and God trusted him. His heart lay open to God and ha said, "Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do ?" is F _â€"The word "tempt" as referring to God‘s test of Abraham recorded in Gen. xxii. 1, is not to be undm:gto_od as implying solicitation to evil, for "God is not tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man," in this senge. Jas. i. 13. In the enmity of the Philistines against Isaac wo see illustrated the envious spirit of the world against Go@‘s cchildren. When they show by peaceful lives the peace and joy abidâ€" ing within them, the world maligns them â€" as too â€" weakâ€"minded to be moved by those things which disturb others. The true Christian is neithâ€" er «poiled by prosperity nor soured by opposition. CC ul af uce Oprtatia Jacob appears to have been one of those characters who are driven to God by trouble. Hos. v. 15. While we exeuse carnality or sepk to hide it it will be too strong for us, but unâ€" covering it, confessing it to God, seeking deliverance from it through the atonement of Christ, we may be mado free, and each may, like Jacob, become "a prince of God." John S. McGeary. 1 % "We can tell a cireus man as far as we can gee him," says the editor of the Atchison Globe. "He has a sort of careless air that cannot be mistakon.

Sometimes his wife is exceptionally beautiful: indeed, it is the excep tion rather than the rule to see an ugly man with a plain wile. Perhaps his own lack of beauty makes }him value it mora keenly in â€" others, whibe she, as is natural, is not parâ€" ticularly affected by the lack of what is so much a part of herself.. A man may be crippled, hideous, deâ€" formed, and yet find a woman glad to share his lot. Men noticing this peculiarity, have often sneered at women in â€" consequence, . supposing them so anxious to marry that they are not fastidious as to whom they take. But they misunderstand the matter altogether. It is not pity alone which moves a woman to marry an unattractive man. Compassion can move her to much, for it is one of the most powâ€" erful influences over her mind. But love with her is not half so often induced by beauty in the object as by other qualities which excite her admiration far more strongly. Physical and Moral Strength. First of all, she chiefly admires in a magn his strength, physical and moral. â€" She has not much bodily strength hersel{f, and so it scems to her the most beautiful thing in the world. She thinks a man who can walk twelve miles without fatigue and lift her up with one hand far more worthy of being admired than the Apolio Belvedere, and the man who can make others obey him she considers a king among men. Besides this, a woman _ admirps character in a man, and loves him for his noble qualities, or what she supposes to he such. She always idealizes the man she admires and thinks him all sorts of herges. and you would offend her mortally if you were to suggpst that his qualities are very commonplace ones after all. There is a curious fact in a womâ€" an‘s affection. It is more delightIul to her to be lovihi than to love. She cannot be induced to giwg her love just in return for one that is offered. And so it is the capacity for showing affection that she grieatly admires in a majll When he is strong, when she can endow him in her fancy with all his excellencie«, and when he is devoutly in love with hergel{f, she casts to the winds all such paltry considerations as whether his nosme is straight or his eyes brown or blue. She takes him without the faintest regard to his appearante, and bplieves to the day of her death he is the handsomest man in the world. _ _ C Sometimes she admires a man‘s less admirable qualities. She will think a certain roughness to thp rest of the world not at all a thing to depreciâ€" ate, always provided he is tender toâ€" ward herself. She often runs into the mistake that unpleasing ways are a The above picture is made from the latest photograph of Mrs. Jefâ€" fersor Davis, who lately has sufâ€" fered from a severe illness at her home at Portland, Me. At latest rccounts this distinguished woman was convalescing. Mrs. Davis is a fine type of the old school _ southâ€" ern woman, and, of course, her life is wedded to the past. For years In the "mountain of the monks," on| the coast of Macedonia, there are twenty monasteries. The place is gacred to the male sex and no woman ts allowed to cross its borders. WHAT WOMEN MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS TOâ€"DAY. Sacred to Monks. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO Il, ADMIRE IN MEN. + Indeed, master{fuiness is one of the characteristics in man that excite her strong,. although perhaps secret, admiration. â€" She may like the velâ€" vet glove outside, but she dearly loves to foel the hand of steel inside it. She despises in her heart of hearts the man who lets her get the upper hand. _ No henpecked husband ever was regarded with anything but contempt by his wife, and 1f he had but the confidence to stand up and resist her to her face the woman would generally be delighted to take the second place without a protest. A woman dearly loves courage in a man. It is the quality which seeme to her greatly to be admired, probâ€" ably from the instinct nature has implanted in her to seek the protecâ€" tion of the stronger creature. A man who is afraid seems to a woman at once the most miserable creaâ€" ture on the face of the earth. Me usurps ker privileges and does not avail himsel{ of his own. A woman admires Getermination in a man. . That is why persistence wins her in the end, though she will try it to its utmost limit. She herâ€" self{ is conscious of a tendensy to give up a matter in which she is thwarted, to get tired of something before she has achieved it, to lose heart in a pursuit which takes her power. â€" She thinks a man who can never fight «o hard as when he is beâ€" ing beaten a creature to command her wondering admiration anad her adoration. And yet women have been know n to fairly worship men who could not, by even the wildest exaggerâ€" ation, possess any of the above traits. Women have cared for their partners in ‘the state that ends with the death of one of the conâ€" tracting â€" parties, notwithstanding public indignities and actual perâ€" sonal violence. Just what she adâ€" mires in her liege lord under those circumstances is difficult to exâ€" plain, especially as this type of man who is beloved usually is an arrant coward. The same woman will ignore the love wf a) man who has set her up as a goddess in his life, who occuâ€" pies a position of honor and _ trust among men and, whose name really means something in the rush of the busy world. One careless act of the woman who does not thinkâ€"possiâ€" bly it is only a broken engagement when the man needs the gentlest pressure of her hand, or a fow hours of her company alone. The dream â€" of hopedâ€"for affection is ended, the ideal is shattered forâ€" ever.. She who appeared to him so different from the ordinary woman again drops to the plane upon which man has placed all others of her sex, and, wellâ€"she stays with her husband and accepts the kicks and blows that are an ever increasâ€" ing crescendo â€" accompaniment . to the home life that she almost left behind in the dim astern.
