A despatch o r P h from Brooklyn, N.Y. says:-ltev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis preached from the following text:- -Consider the birds of the air; con- sider the lilies of the field." Jesus is talking about the wicked- ness of worry. Ile says that man ought to bo happy and tranquil be- cause God is a father always near at hand. Try us muu may, ho can- not escape from God's deur mercy or His loving providence. 'l'here:ore,e take no burning thought for the mor- row. For worry is wicked. Worry consumes like a flame; worry eats: Ike rust; worry cuts into the 'terve; as a moth cuts the garment; worry! can bring the whole structure of lifoi down in ruins. Why should nun' worry? (cod has maintained the tar - vests and filled the thickets undl hedges with abundant food. The lark rises early and works, but as soon as it has fed it gives itself to song. Ilut the piercing sweetness of the lurk's song and the tranquil loveliness of the modest violet or ar-' Lutes lily condemn man. Tho grass' of the field cnnuot speak, and yet in; silence, by beauty, it reproaches man' for his worry and his unduly aiixiuus! thoughts. I Ilut if Christ's warning against' worry was needed in that poverty- stricken and troublous age, howl much inure does our generation need It! To -clay men aro anxious ABOUT MANY' THINGS. Our people are consumed with tho' feverish desire td` get on What jeal- ousies in the world of commerce! What fierce enmities in politica! What bitter criticisms between lead- ers! What heart-burnings in the social ei - e where woman reigns! And these worries and anxious struggles work havoc to the health.± Worry plows furrows in the face; it' whitens the hair; it rubs the woman! of her beauty, it makes childhood, prematurely old, it makes the strong plan aged before his time, I Anel yet the potters are unworried., Plant a lily in a mud puddle, and its goes placidly on unfolding a white bloom that publishes its victory over! the at bog. In the windows of the tenement -house region in Clancey; street I saw a box of beautiful blossoms where the geraniums •.vaved their banner of victory over un-' friendly conditions. Put a bird 1)e - hind iron bars in a cage and it will: sing. But put a man as a free man' in God's wide universe, and he bo - gins to worry and talk about the bars and limitations of life. By su much as man is higher than the flower uud the bird, by that touch ought he to be happier. Mun ought to soar and sing with the lurk. Mai ought to grow and unfold like the rose. Worry is foolish as well as wicked. To encournge the habit of axi tyla to fly in the face of nature and her kindness. Jesus affirms that Clod hath established .an order in nature Parents havo to stop each morning and think for the children. Ilut (iod has organized His thoughts int' laws; His laws think for Him..

Then dip in the same way into clear cold water. Wipe all traces of moisture from the back and handles, and, after shaking tho brush, well dry in the open nir, in the sunshine if possible. Do not attempt to dry the bristles by rub- bing them, and do not put soap on them.
