THE CARES OF THE WORLD

BY

JOHN WEBSTER HANCOCK, LL.B

BARRISTER-AT-LAW

"Prosperity is the blessing of the Old Testament. Adver
sity is the promise of the New, which carrieth the
great benediction, and the clearer revelation of God's
favour; yet even in the Old Testament, if you listen
to David's harp, you shall hear as many hearse-like
airs as carols; and the pencil of the Holy Ghost hath
laboured more in describing the afflictions of Fob than
the felicities of Solomon."-LORD BACON.
