Duties We Perform

1900

The Nashville Christian Advocate says: "It has been said that duty is an angel with a sad face, and the saying contains at least an element of truth. Some duties it is easy for us to perform. We take them up with a sense of joy and delight. But some are hard and difficult. The sight of them makes us shudder and draw back. None the less must we look them squarely in the face. It may be that the very things which we regard with most repugnance have in them just the discipline that our souls most surely need."
