known unto God.” Here is the solution, therefore: Pray. Luther says that “the heart is like a couple of millstones; if you don’t put something between them to grind, they will grind each other. It is because God is not in our hearts that the two stones rub the surface off one another. So the victorious antagonist of anxiety is trust, and the only way to turn gnawing care out of my ¿heart and life is to usher God into it and to keep Him resolutely in it.” Peter .says to cast “all your care [anx ieties] upon him; for he careth for you.” Illustration I. O verheard in an O rchard Said the Robin to the Sparrow: “ I would really like to knoWsW- Why these anxious human beings Rush about and worry so.” Said the Sparrow to the Robin: “ I don’t know, unless it be That they have no Heavenly Father Such as cares for you and me.” H. H olding the C orner True faith drops its letter in the post- office box and lets it go. Distrust holds on to a corner of it apd wonders that the an swer never comes.’ No letter will ever ac complish anything until we let it go out of our hands and trust it to the postman and the mail. This is the way with true faith. It hands its case over to God, and then He works. That is a fine verse in the thir ty-seventh psalm; “ Commit thy way unto the L ord; trust also in him ; and he work- eth.”; But He never worketh until we com mit. Faith is a receiving, or still better, a taking of God’s proffered gifts, W e may believe, and come, and commit, and rest;
Take, then, the faith of God, Free from the taint of doubt, The miracle-working rod" That casts all reasoning out.

They never fret Nor grieve because they think I may forget Their daily dole of sun and silver dew. They never strive To keep themselves alive, As human creatures do. They never beckon far-off Happiness, Nor beat back coming Woe. I care for them; and shall I love thee less ? Not so, child I Oh not so! —F ay I nchfawn . A Practical Suggestion
A correspondent in Toledo, Ohio, writes: “I am persuaded that I must do some kind of intensive work for the Lord this year. As I read these two splendid pub lications {The Sunday School Times and T he K ing ’ s B usiness ), I am strangely moved with the thought of getting before the world the message they contain. Other cults and isms are peddling their wares from house to house, and have been doing so for years. They are getting results, to o !
