Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink;
nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.--MATT. vi. 25.

  One there lives whose guardian eye
  Guides our earthly destiny;
  One there lives, who, Lord of all,
  Keeps His children lest they fall;
  Pass we, then, in love and praise,
  Trusting Him through all our days,
  Free from doubt and faithless sorrow,--
  God provideth for the morrow.
R. HEBER.

It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It
is when to-morrow's burden is added to the burden of to-day that the weight
is more than a man can bear. Never load yourselves so, my friends. If you
find yourselves so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing,
not God's. He begs you to leave the future to Him, and mind the present.
G. MACDONALD.

_Cast thy burdens upon the Lord_,--hand it over, heave it upon Him,--_and
He shall sustain thee_; shall bear both, if thou trust Him with both, both
thee and thy burden: _He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
ROBERT LEIGHTON.
