Our Daily Duty.

We need not be discouraged II our
work seems TO be a small one. When
God works by men. He uses only small
beginnings. The mustard seed was an
illustration Of His kingdom upon earth.
and from It may be drawn picture of
the church to which all nations in time
will come, but what we must be indl-
yidually concerned about Is our daily
duty and the motive which prompts US
in performing 1t, for too little value is
placed upon the little duties which fall
TO the share of each one. Many regard
these with Indifference or contempt
and try In every possible way to shirk
or neglect them. The result Is that
they are either thrown over on other
shoulders already overburdend or neg
lected observation-disclosures.

then the female member switches onto

The need OF comfort IL not only one Of the
deepest needs OF the human heart but Ii IL q
universal need. There are many other things
that are only partial necessity. things that
would be very desirable and agreeable but that
We can do without; but the need OF comfort IL
no partial need. SORROW, II IL be sorrow. Is q
great and profound reality. and can only be
as.uaged by something equally profound and
real Comfort lie one Of the things that admits
OF no counterfeit. II 1t falls TO soothe a SORROW,
TO soiaee q grief. TO heal hurt, the name IS mis-
applied. IL Is net comfort IN any vital and help
full sense. There IL no true comfort that is not
horn OF love, and the character and value Of
comfort depend upon the character and type of
the affection from which 1t springs.
"As one whom his mother comforteth."
Think what that means 10 the world weary and
heart sore children of Een from whom the
mother presence and the mother care have
already passed away. With their passing there
goes out Of life something that no relation, how.
ever tender. can bring again. The world can
never be for US quite the place 1t WAS while
there fingered somewhere upon it the one face
that, be we evil or good, prosperous unfor-
tunate, lovely or hateful, never would turn
away In anger or scorn. 1t is easy enough to
struggle against difficulties, to meet ones foes
bravely, 10 bear manly or womanly part In
lifes struggle go long as the mothers arms and
the mothers kiss and the mother comfort are
waiting for US whenever can come back from
tine hurry and rush and crowd to claim what is
our own.
And with all that life and friendship and love
can offer, nothing and one save only God
offers this comfort back again but as II He had
gathered up into His own heart all the loving of
all the yearniDg hearts that have ever come into
His presence, He offers 1t back again with the
added riches of His own matchless love and
grace.
Dear Friends:
The aboveiselections are Janet's con-
tribution. Comfort is what SO many
hearts need, that something :expl essed
above may warm some lonely heart and
give new hope to some struggling soul.
Shadows rest on many homes where The
AMERICAN goes each week. II only ray
OF light and hope from our column might
tighten the gloom, part Of our mission as
mutual helpers would be fulfilled.
