III. DAY UNTO DAY. " Day unto day uttereth speech."? Psalms. Every
yesterday is talking to, instructing, to-day. Every to-day has its
word for the morrow. So each individual life progresses, so ages
ripen. It is not what is new-born. Born to-day,? that is our hope,
our power, our weakness, or our defeat. We live in and because of
