The Sin and Peril of Failure

To be faithless in duty is to lose all the blessing which is promised to those who are loyal and true. No matter how perilous the duty that comes to you, you cannot decline it save at your own peril. The only safe way in life's thronging field is straight on in the path of duty. No duty, however perilous or hard, should be feared half so much as failure in the duty. Stand where Christ places you, and be simply true — that is all. Make no effort to be great. The greatest thing possible to you any day is faithfulness. Only be faithful. He requires no more of the highest angel in glory.
