Faithfulness.

By M. F. W.

THE LORD, in Matt. 25:21, 23, commends those who have been faithful over a few things, and says that they shall be made rulers over many things.

This promise is to the faithful. Though our talent is small, and we can do but little, yet that little is required of us. If we are faithful in the performance of every duty, the promise is ours. But what is it to be faithful in our religious life? Is it merely to arise in meeting and make known our determinations? It means much more than that. It includes our whole life.

The duties of each day, whether small or great, should be performed with faithfulness. If we are faithful in these things, we may expect to hear the glad welcome, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” M. F. W.
