The rancher who sits down and worries because he fears it will not rain to-morrow, or it will rain, fails to do the work of to-day ready for whatever the morrow may bring forth.

The wise Roman, Seneca, expressed the same thing in other words when he wrote: "He grieves more than is necessary who grieves before it is necessary," and our own Lowell had a similar thought in mind which he expressed as follows: "The misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come." Even the Chinese saw the folly of worrying over events that have not yet transpired, for they have a saying: "To what purpose should a person throw himself into the water before the boat is cast away (wrecked)." All these proverbs, therefore, show that the wisdom of the ages is against worrying over things that have not yet transpired.

Let to-morrow take care of itself.

Live to-day.

As Cardinal Newman's wonderful hymn expresses it: I do not ask to see the distant scene, One step enough for me.
Furthermore, the evil we dread for to-morrow may never come.
