Do the best with your little du

of true service;, they are the
make-up of most of our lives;
and by them we shall be judged
at the last. : . We wffi. riot be
judged by the great things we
intended to do. Just to do cheer
fully, faithfully, obediently, the
little every-day duties that come
to us, not waiting for something
great or high, this will ; go far
toward making for us each a
