"There is only one work in which God has any actual need of your assistance, and that is the work of your own salvation. If, then, God regards you with favour, from His point of view, your most important task in life is to make your own calling and election sure. Any other work you may perform might just as well be done by others; all that is required of you is, that within the limits of your opportunities, you shall do your best: not the very best of which you might be capable with the most favourable conditions, but the best that is possible under the circumstances. The disadvantages under which you labour are included in the assessment of the talent given you." ~Conviction & Conduct, p. 155
