by soul In this text he said is self. Mon measure
themselves against tho world and the estimate they
put upon themselves IS surprisingly low. One man
ssteems himself worthy to control a nation; another
desires the good opinion OF tho community; another
is wholly absorbed IN accumulating money. We may
estimate what man values himself by seeing how
he sxpends labor. Turn TO the text and you viii
see that Lord regards each man moro than tho

vIdual higher than the worldr We would have
