To-Morrow.

By Eliza H. Morton

The mind of man is apt to look forward into the future, and to put off the work of reformation. This is one of Satan's traps. He makes to-morrow seem a favorable opportunity to overcome sin. Poor deluded man forgets that “to-morrow will be only to-day rolled on,” and Satan rejoices over his victory. Prof. D. Swing says: “The future, to a man in middle or mature life, will contain very little not to be found now in his soul. To-morrow is only a point in the river a little nearer the sea. The same water flows there that flowed a hundred miles above. It is a sad thing when one must point to these passing hours and confess for himself that they are the photograph of the remainder of life.” We are counseled to “take no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.” It is true that we “know not what shall be on the morrow,” but we can be prepared for whatever may await us by attending to present duty. There will come a day the to-morrow of which will end all things earthly, brighten the world with the sunlight of God's glory and enrapture the saints with the overwhelming splendor of Christ's kingdom.
