True Success

By F. M. W.

We can not truly measure success by worldly standards. These may be right, but usually they are wrong. There are scores of men and women whose lives have appeared failures to the world. They did no great heroic deeds. They were the humble toilers of life, only doing the little things, perhaps the menial tasks of the world's work. They died unnoted and unknown. To them was accorded no need of praise or honor, and no monument was erected in their memory.

But God regarded these humble ones otherwise. He took account of the purity of their motives and the faithfulness of their endeavors. He witnessed their stand for right, their loyalty to principle, their faithful, patient plodding in the upward way. In Heaven's sight they rank among the true heroes and heroines of earth's history.
