Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 225, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 September 1911 — The Crown for the Faithful, [ARTICLE]

The Crown for the Faithful,

The virtue of fidelity is not conditioned by great opportunities and responsibilities. It has nothing dto do with splendor of circumstanced. It needs no broad arena, no crowd of spOttators. “He that is faithful In that which is least is faithful also in much.” The humblest task is to bo done as unto God. Our gift, our talent, may be insignificant, but it Is to be used, not buried. What the world calls success is often the shipwreck of the soul. The dominion of God*a world is the blessing of those who are “faithful in a very little” "faithful unto death.” The crown hi not for success, not for genius, nbt for position, not for greatnttaU’ blit for faithfulness. Life’s work ahd warfam are to test and ttatn fidelity.
