Not how ditl he die, but how did he live? Not what did he aain, but what did he Bive?

These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man 1s a man, reaardless ofbirth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed? .But had he ~ifriended those really in need?
if Was he ever ready, with a word aood cheer,
To brine biack a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did ~he sketch in the newspaper say,
.But how many were sorry when he passed away.
He answered, '"Love the Lorq your Go"ciwith all your heart apd with all your soul . and with all your strength and wit!h all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
Luke 10:27
