And Fidelia put her hand in his and said quietly--"Jabez, I shall be glad to go." And let the wise men of this world, and the rich men and the mighty, say what they will, there is no greater or grander work to be done under the sun than the work which these two, standing under the apple-trees, agreed to help one another to do. There is no work whose success can avail so much for the happiness of the individual soul, for the household, or for the community, and there is none whose success can bring such wealth and honour and stability to the nation, as that through which the hearts of men are taught to believe and know, and the eyes of men are enlightened to see, that it is "righteousness which exalteth a nation," and that "sin is a reproach to any people." "Fidelia," said Jabez in a little, "do you suppose that Eunice knows?" And Fidelia answered softly,--"If she knows, I am pure she is glad." Before the summer was quite over these two happy people went West to begin their work together. A good many years have passed since then. The place in which "the faithful fifteen" set up the standard is a great city now. They, and those who have joined themselves to them since then, have kept the promise made in these early days to their Lord and to each other. And He who said, "Them that honour Me I will honour," has kept His promise to them.
