Greatness Adds Nothing to Virtue
Matthew 18:1
At the same time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?


Nothing accrues to a good man when he rises. and comes on in the world; nothing is defalked from him when he falls and decays. The steed is not the better for his trappings; nor doth the instrument yield sweeter music for its carved head, or for the ribbon which is tied unto it.

(A. Farindon, B. D.)
