Remember the dear Master's word, 'Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.'" "Yes, papa; and I remember your teaching me that his 'Take no thought,' means no anxiety, and that it tends greatly to one's happiness to live one day at a time, just leaving all the future in his hands." "Yes, daughter; just as a little child leaves its future and the supply of its daily wants in the care of its parents." "Such kind teaching, and easy to understand when one has such a father as mine," she said, with a look of grateful love.

Well, daughter," glancing at the clock on the mantel, "you may sit down to your typewriter and answer these at my dictation; as I see there will be time to do so before the ringing of the breakfast bell.

Ah, good-morning, Keith!" as at that moment that gentleman entered the room.
