Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Discourse on the Life and Character of Rev. Ezra Stiles Gannett, D.D: Delivered in the Meeting-House of the First Parish in Hingham, on Sunday, September 3, 1871
That is consecrated to Christian service by faith is confirmed in its chosen life by a blessed experience. All have not by nature, education or Opportunities equal powers for usefulness in the world. To some a wider, to others a more limited sphere of labor is assigned. But in every station, ability is the measure of duty, and all are equally required to be faithful, and thanks be to God, faithfulness is equally possible to all, and'he who is loyal to the end, will receive a crown of life. Such is the great inspiring lesson of my text. How urgent the appeal which is addressed to every soul. May God give us wisdom to heed his voice, and since no one knoweth the time of his departure, may constant fidelity in our appointed Sphere of activity, prepare us to pass on at any moment from the duties of earth to the more glorious life of Heaven.
