One Thing is Needful
Luke 10:38-42
Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village…


Write down a line of ciphers! You may add thousands, multiplying them till the sheets they fill cover the face of heaven and earth — they express nothing. Now take the lowest number of the ten, the smallest digit, and place that at their head; magic never wrought such a change! What before amounted to nothing, rises instantly by the addition of one figure, one stroke of the pen, into thousands, or millions, as the ease may be; and whether they represent pounds or pearls, how great is the sum of them!

(T. Guthrie, D. D.)
