Never Borrow Sorrow from Tomorrow Deal only with the present Never step into tomorrow, For God asks us just to trust Him And to never borrow sorrow. For the future is not ours to know And it may never be, So let us live and give our best And give it lavishly. For to meet tomorrow's troubles Before they are even ours Is to anticipate the Saviour And to doubt His all-wise powers. So let us be content to solve Our problems one by one, Asking nothing of tomorrow Except "Thy will be done". WOODSLEE BROOKER Essex United Sun.
