He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.—LUKE XVI, 10.

Faithfulness in the humblest part Is better at last than proud success.

TROWBRIDGE.

Faithfulness in little things fits one for heroism when the great trials come.

LOUISA M. ALCOTT.

It is not on great occasions only that we are required to be faithful to the will of God; occasions constantly occur, and we should be surprised to perceive how much our spiritual advancement depends on small obediences.

MADAME SWETCHINE.

It is the easiest thing in the world to obey God when He commands us to do what we like, and to trust Him when the path is all sunshine. The real victory of faith is to trust God in the dark and through the dark. Let us be assured of this, that if the lesson and the rod are of His appointing, and His all-wise love has engineered the tunnels of trial on the heavenward road, He will never desert us during the discipline. The vital thing for us is not to deny and desert Him.
