"What is the greatest thing in the
world?n
1t was asked the scholar and he
gravely answered that learning is, for
il comprehends all and promotes all.
It was asked the artist and he cried:
"Art, for it combines matter and
spirit, both at their BEST"
The preacher solemnly declared:
Religion, because it is a light from
heaven"
E The lawyer argued: "Justice, for it
is the soul of peace and progress"
"Morey," said the banker. "It is
the spring of all action"
The young man, full of hope and
spirit, cried: ambition"
Out of his garnered wisdom the
weary old tailor answered: Content
The pair of lovers, hand in hand,
lisped together: "Love."
The mother with her baby at hel
breast smiled: "Sacrifice."
The wild roysterer cried: "Pleasure.'

put the question. He simpered and
said: 81 don't know"
