WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow. The work and cares of today easy if we

2
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>do not worry about those of tomorrow, the mysterious Tomorrow

3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.759
<v Speaker 1>and its terrors. The way to meet the cares of tomorrow.

4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow's opportunities will come as surely as Tomorrow's cares law supreme.

5
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>No need to be afraid the real Tomorrow. The work

6
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.519
<v Speaker 1>of each day would be a pleasure if we would

7
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.079
<v Speaker 1>refrain from attempting to perform at the same time the

8
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 1>work of tomorrow. The cares of today would cease to

9
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 1>disturb us if we would refuse to anticipate the cares

10
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 1>of tomorrow. The work of today is easily performed. Notwithstanding

11
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we spoiled the pleasure of yesterday by

12
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 1>fretting about the tasks of the coming day. The cares

13
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>of today do not seem half so terrible as they

14
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.479
<v Speaker 1>appeared viewed from the distance of yesterday. Nor do we

15
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>suffer nearly as much from today's burdens as we did yesterday.

16
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>In bearing these burdens in anticipation, today is comparatively easy

17
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>for us. But oh tomorrow, Ay, there's the trouble Tomorrow.

18
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>The past is gone, and its sorrows cares troubles, misfortunes,

19
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>and work do not seem so terrible viewed from this distance.

20
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>The misfortunes of the past are now often known as

21
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>blessings in disguise. Today is here, and we seem to

22
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>be getting along fairly well, excepting fearing the dawn of tomorrow.

23
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>But tomorrow, Oh, mysterious tomorrow, that delight of the child,

24
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>that bugaboo of the grown up? What shall we say

25
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>of tomorrow? Who knows? What terrible monsters are lurking in

26
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>its gloomy recesses, What frightful cares are slumbering there? What

27
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>dreadful shapes are there crouching with glowering eyes awaiting our coming?

28
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>No frightful tale of childhood begins to compare in horror

29
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 1>with this fantasy of maturity. To Morrow, yesterday, with all

30
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>its troubles. To day, with its pressing tasks, affright us not.

31
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>But to morrow, Ah, to morrow, tell us of the morrow,

32
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>who knows what a day may bring? Forth? Tell us

33
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>how to meet the terrors of tomorrow? Forsooth an easy task,

34
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>good friends, The way to meet the terrors of tomorrow

35
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>is to wait until to morrow. The cares of to

36
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>morrow indeed, twould be laughable if it were not so pitiful.

37
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow's cares may come, will come, must come. But what

38
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:18.599
<v Speaker 1>of tomorrow's opportunities, tomorrow's strength, tomorrow's chances, circumstances helpers. Don't

39
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 1>you know that the supply of good things does not

40
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 1>cease with the close of today. Don't you know that

41
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 1>in the womb of the future sleep opportunities intended for

42
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>your use when the time comes. Don't you know that

43
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>in earnest, confident expectation of the good things to come

44
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 1>will cause these good things to grow for your use

45
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 1>in the future. Well, it's so. They'll grow and grow

46
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 1>and grow, and then when you need them, you will

47
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.719
<v Speaker 1>find them ripe and ready to pick. Water them with faith,

48
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 1>surround them with the rich soil of hope. Let them

49
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 1>receive the full rays of the sun of love, and

50
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 1>the nourishing fruit of opportunity will be your reward tomorrow.

51
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever shiver with dread at the thought of

52
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>what would happen if the sun should not rise tomorrow?

53
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever doubt that the grass would grow and

54
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:21.439
<v Speaker 1>the trees take on leaves next spring? Did you ever

55
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>fear that perhaps the summer would not come Oh, no,

56
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 1>of course not. These things have always happened, and you

57
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 1>have sufficient faith to know that they will occur again. Yes,

58
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 1>but you have been fearing that opportunities, chances, circumstances may

59
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.920
<v Speaker 1>not be present tomorrow. Oh, ye of little faith. Do

60
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.639
<v Speaker 1>you not know that this is no world of chance?

61
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you not know that you are working under the

62
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>operations of a great law, and that these things are

63
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 1>as much amenable to that law as are the seasons,

64
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 1>the crops, the motion of the Earth, the planets, this

65
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 1>and countless other solar systems, the universe, the law which

66
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>regulates the motions of the millions of worlds, and whose

67
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 1>jurisdiction extends over space. That space, the abstract idea of

68
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.000
<v Speaker 1>which cannot be grasped by the puny intellect of man

69
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>of today, also takes cognizance of the tiny living organism,

70
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.360
<v Speaker 1>too small to be seen through our strongest microscope. The

71
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>sparrow's fall comes under the law, as well as the

72
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>building of a magnificent series of solar systems, And yet

73
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:50.439
<v Speaker 1>man fears tomorrow of all living beings, Man alone fears tomorrow. Children,

74
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 1>lovers and philosophers escape the curse. The first to look

75
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.879
<v Speaker 1>forward to it with joy and confidence, having the love

76
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>that casteth out the philosopher's reason teaches him that which

77
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>the intuition of the other two has grasped. The child

78
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>intuitively recognizes that the infinite supply is inexhaustible, and naturally

79
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 1>expects tomorrow's supply as he does tomorrow's sun. He has

80
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 1>faith in the law until fear is suggested into his

81
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.959
<v Speaker 1>receptive mind by those who have grown old enough to fear.

82
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 1>The child knows that there are just as good fish

83
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>in the sea as ever were caught, But the grown

84
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:37.879
<v Speaker 1>up fears that today's fish is the last in the sea,

85
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 1>and fails to appreciate today's hall by reason of his

86
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>worry about the possible future failure of the fishing industry.

87
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I do not believe in just sitting down

88
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.959
<v Speaker 1>and folding my hands and waiting for mine own to

89
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.079
<v Speaker 1>come to me. I know that mine own will come

90
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.800
<v Speaker 1>to me because I am doing well the work that

91
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the Law has placed before me, to do that which

92
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 1>lies nearest to my hand. Today. I believe in work,

93
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 1>good work, honest work, cheerful work, hopeful work, confident work.

94
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.519
<v Speaker 1>I believe in the joy of work, the pleasure of creating.

95
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 1>And I believe that he who does his best work

96
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.279
<v Speaker 1>one day at a time, working with faith, hope, and

97
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>confidence in the morrow, with fear eliminated from his mind

98
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.759
<v Speaker 1>and replaced with courage, I believe, I say, that such

99
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 1>a man will never find his cupboard empty, nor will

100
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>his children want for bread. And furthermore, I believe that

101
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow is what we make it by our thoughts today.

102
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 1>I believe that we are sowing thought seeds today which

103
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>will grow up overnight and bear fruit tomorrow. I believe

104
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>that thought takes form in action, and that we are

105
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 1>and will be just what we think ourselves into being.

106
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.279
<v Speaker 1>I believe that our minds and bodies are constantly being

107
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 1>molded by our thoughts, and that the measure of man's

108
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:20.279
<v Speaker 1>success is determined by the character of his thoughts. And

109
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I believe that when man will throw off the incubus

110
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.759
<v Speaker 1>of fear, the frightful vision of the night will vanish,

111
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:32.679
<v Speaker 1>and opening his eyes in the place of the monster,

112
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.399
<v Speaker 1>he will see the fair form and smiling face of

113
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 1>a radiant creature, who, bending over him with love, lit eyes,

114
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:47.799
<v Speaker 1>will softly whisper I am tomorrow.
