( 18 ) 
The great man is the servant of all, as Christ who was undoubtedly 
the best Master of true Greatness, says Himself: “He that is the great¬ 
est among you shall be your servant ” (St. Matt, xxiii., 11.) 
“What is grandeur? Hot the sheen 
Of silken robes; no, nor the mien 
And haughty eye 
Of old nobility— 
The foolish that is not, but has been. 
The noblest trophies of mankind 
Are the conquests of the mind.” 
■—Sir A. Hunt. 
Great and Greater. 
I hold him great who , for love’s sake, 
Can give with generous, earnest will; 
Yet he who takes for love's sweet sake 
A gift, I hold more generous still. 
I bow before the noble mind 
That freely some great wrong forgives; 
Yet nobler is the one forgiven 
Who bears the burden well and lives. 
It may be hard to gain, and still 
To keep a lowly, steadfast heart; 
Yet he who loses has to fill 
A harder and a truer part. 
Glorious it is to wear the crown 
Of a deserved and pure success ; 
He who knows how to fail has won 
A crown whose lustre is not less. 
Great may he be who can command 
And rule with just and tender sway; 
Yet is diviner wisdom taught 
Better by him who can obey.
