Do Your Duty.

By Phillips Brooks

Go, do your duty, giving to every task the sublimest motive that you know, and that you can bring to bear upon it. Get at the essence of goodness, which is not in its enthusiasm or its delights, but in its heart of consecration. Sometimes the consecration may be all the more thoro and complete when the joy of consecration seems to be farthest away. And yet every consecration made in the darkness is reaching out toward the light, and in the end must come out into the light, strong in the strength which it won in its life struggle in the dark.—Phillips Brooks.
