Not what did he gain? But what did he give? These are the units to measure the worth of a man as a man, regardless of birth. Not what was his situation, but had he a heart and did he play his God given part? Was he ever ready with a word of good cheer, to bring back a smile, to brandish a tear? Not what was his church? Nor what was his creed? But has he befriended those really in need? Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say, but how many were sorry when he passed away?
