I. THE GOOD TO BE SECURED.

1. Supreme trust. This means, undoubtingly; undividedly; lovingly.

2. Supreme trust in the supremely good. "In the Lord." The All-wise; the All-loving; the All-holy; the All-mighty.

II. THE EVIL TO BE AVOIDED. "Lean not to thine own understanding."

1. This is a prevalent evil. Men do it in all departments — business, politics, literature, and religion.

2. This is a patent evil. It is clear to all. Reason shows it. History shows it. Individual experience shows it.

(D. Thomas, D.D.)
