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
yesterdays. Their life enters into ours. They are our nurses, our
instructors. They have Had us by the hand, led us step by step,
little by little unfolding to us the work before, and giving little
by little the helps unto its accomplishment. In nothing is the law
of sequence more inevitable. In nothing does that which is more
depend upon that which was. In nothing does the next step more
directly hinge upon the last. Not only yesterday speaks to to-day,
but what yesterday says decides what to-day is. He lives well and

indefinite future, but into the future of to-morrow, not by the
vague teachings of a remote past, but by the last word of the last
day in which he lived, by the things said to himself in his own
experience and consciousness, not by things said to others under
other conditions and to otherends. It was a very sublime truth
uttered by the Psalmist, but he did not know half its meaning. With
some old memory of his shepherd life (if David wrote it) or some
fresh glimpsing of the skies whose twinkling hosts we so seldom
think of, his thought turned toward the handiwork of God; and his
language, simple, brief, grand, has gone to the uttermost parts of
the earth,? a wondrous expression of that which no finite mind can
ever- fully gather in, or any finite spirit utter. No mere words so
completely fill us with the awed...
