One of the sweetest compensations
that can come to a human life, is the
consciousness of duty well done. But
this can only come as result OF faith

man, who, as he looks back over his
past life and labors can feel that he
has given the best that is in him to
the special work in which he Is en-
gagged
We fear sometimes that the work
of the ministry is not appreciated as
ii ought to be. Many a man who has
given his life to this sacred work, has
been made heartsick and become dis
