Fidelity

By Punshon

To engage in the performance of home duties faultlessly, without petulance, without haste, without fretting; to repress the sarcastic and unkind word; to be calm in the hot moment of anger; to do without weariness, and to suffer without murmuring; to be charitable in judgment, and trample out of the heart the Pharisee spirit, deeming life at once too short and too costly for quarrels and pride; to maintain a chivalrous honor in all business relations; to hold back from the temptations of doubtful or hasty gain; to wear “the white flower,” not “of a blameless life” only, but of a life cleansed from its earthliness, and made pure by the Holy Spirit; to walk about the world and before men with a calm heart filled with love; to shed abroad the “sweet savor of Christ,” and allure men to the heaven to which they know you to be traveling,—these are but many-sided exhibitions of the holy character, many facets of the one jewel of fidelity, by which you are to be approved of your Father which is in heaven.—Punshon.
