Great men are the Lord's abject lessons to the world. They hold out to mankind the measure of truth committed to their generation. As example is greater than precept, so a life may state a truth more forcibly than words. When He answered the question as to the first great commandment, the Savior did more than satisfy the idle curiosity of the listening crowd, He indicated one of the underlying purposes of this life and stated the principle by which the degree of civilization will be determined.
