Responsibility for Our Talents

A SENSE of responsibility to God is a sense of responsibility for the use of talents which have been universally distributed, although not in equal measure. The least endowed cannot escape on the plea that no talent has been given; the loftiest must not vaunt as if anything that he possesses were his own. They stand upon the one platform of responsible service,—each to make the most of what he has, in the great market of life, and to render his account to the absent, but not unmindful, Lord.—Sel.
