We are not all apostles in the sense that St. Paul was; but to every one of us Christians Christ has given a solemn and sacred trust in our own salvation. We are to be true to him in a world of sin and temptation. We are to be faithful to duty wherever we stand. We each have a mission which we must strive to fulfil. Are we keeping the faith, true to every sacred trust which God has placed in our hands? Are we taking care of the part of the vineyard assigned to us, and rendering of the fruits to him who has committed it to our care? Not to fulfil our mission is soon to be left without a mission, dropped out, set aside, while others do our work and receive the honour and reward which would have been ours.
