Put Not Your Trust in Princes

By Editor

Put Not Your Trust in Princes.—How the great ones of this country have passed away the last few weeks! Ex-president Hayes, Gen. B. F. Butler, Justice Lamar, Phillips Brooks, and James G. Blaine. All earthly hopes reposed in them died with them. They have gone as men go, as all flesh goes. "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish." But there is one Son of Man, who is also the Son of God, in whom we may trust. Of him it is written, "He ever liveth to make intercession for us." Put your trust in him.
