It works for to-day, but also provides for to-morrow.

It invests the capital it has saved, and makes provision for the future.
"Man's right of seeing the future," says Mr.Edward Denison, "which is conferred on him by reason, has attached to it the duty of providing for that future; and our language bears witness to this truth by using, as expressive of active precaution against future want, a word which in its radical meaning implies only a passive foreknowledge of the same.
Whenever we speak of the _virtue of providence_, we assume that forewarned is fore-armed, To know the future is no virtue, but it is the greatest of virtues to prepare for it."[1] [Footnote 1: _Letters of the late Edward Denison._ p.

240.] But a large proportion of men do not provide for the future.

They do not remember the past.

They think only of the present.
