The Greatest Test

THE great test of character is faithfulness in little things. “He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much.” Many who in the limelight of public recognition would march boldly to the martyr’s stake, signally fail in meeting some of the small tests in life’s experiences.
The true foundation for character-building is every-day life. In the inmost recesses of the heart, in the life in the home, in social relationship and business dealings, are found the experiences and opportunities which, if recognized and rightly regarded, will result in the development of a true, strong Christian character. The Christian religion is a practical hope. It will serve the purpose of every-day use. It will stand the test of every trial in personal experience. It is not a hope to cheer in death or sickness alone, but an anchor to the soul in all the storms of life. Let us make it a reality in our every-day living.
