Why is it that we are so busy with the future? It is not our province; and is there not a criminal interference with Him to whom it belongs$$$ in our feverish$$$ anxious attempts to dispose of it$$$ and in filling it up with shadows of good and evil shaped by our own wild imaginations? To do God's will as fast as it is made known to us$$$ to inquire hourly--I had almost said each moment--what He requires of us$$$ and to leave ourselves$$$ our friends$$$ and every interest at His control$$$ with a cheerful trust that the path which He marks out leads to our perfection and to Himself$$$--this is at once our duty and happiness; and why will we not walk in the plain$$$ simple way?
