They forget , the God who promised seed time and harvest, summer and winter, cold and beat, also ordained all the climatic changes. Three Is one qu&Don that ought to be written on every barn, on every fence, on every haystack, on every farmhouse, "Hath Die rain a father?" If wc only knew what a vast enterprise It fa to provide appropriate weather for this world we would not be so driUcal of the Lord. Isaac Watts at ten years of age complained that bo did not like the hymns "Well." said his father. “Isaac, Instead of your complaining about the hymns, go and make hymns that are better." And he did go and make hymns that were better. Now, I - say to yon If you do not like the weather get up a weather company and have a president, and a secretary, and a treasurer, and a board of directors, and ten million dollars of stock, and then provide weather that will suit us alL There fa a man who has a weak bead, and be can nr* *1*1*1 the glare ol the sun. You must have m cloud Always hovering orer him. I like the sunshine; I cannot live withont plenty of sunlight, ao yon most always hare enough light for me. Two ships meet in mid-Atlantic. The one fa going to Southampton and the other, b coming: New York. Provide weather that, while it fa abaft for one efilp. It fa not *' * wind far the other. There fa a farm fa dried up for the lack of rain, and there fa a pleasure party going out for a field ■ curaiou. Provide weather that will s tire dry farm and the pleasure excorali Ne. sirs, I will nbt take one dollar of sto in your weather company. There fa only one Being in the anirerae who knows enough to provide the right kind of weather for this world. “HsDr the raia a *
