We may be sitting quietly in our homes, and a flash of lightning, or the sudden development of a hidden disease may send us without warning into eternity. An accident on a railroad train or on an ocean steamer, a misstep, a fire at the dead of night, a hundred calamities which are sending others suddenly to their final home, are as likely to happen to us as to them. To-day we may have all our loved ones about us, to-morrow they may leave us never to return. To-day we may be rich, to-morrow poor. To-day we may be in the exuberance of health and strength, and to-morrow be laid upon a bed of pain and weakness. To-day we may be strong in the use of all our reasoning faculties, an asylum may be our home to-morrow. Under the care of our Heavenly Father, and in ourselves helpless as regards our future, why take anxious thought concerning it? Whatever we can do to make our lives successful in all things honorable, we are to do. We cannot sit down in idleness and expect God to take care of us without any effort on our part.
