Some time ago the editor of a daily paper in. America offered a prize to anyone who would send him the sweetest name in the English language. Within a few days he received some hundreds of answers. A beggar had selected the word “gold.” A young man, full of ambition, with fair prospects opening before him, had chosen the word “glory.” A sailor who had just returned from a voyage suggested the word home.” A fourth proposed “mother,” and the jury hesitated some time over this, wondering if it could be surpassed. At length, however, they came upon a piece of paper with the word “Jesus” written on it, and at once they unanimously decided to award the prize to the person who had sent in this answer.
Reader, do you agree with their decision?
