The Best Things Are Free

A lesson that is very apparent, and one by which we may all profit, is taught by an incident in the life of Oliver Cromwell. When he visited for the first time that grand old cathedral the York minster in England, he noted twelve silver statues placed high above the altar. He looked at them, then asked, "Who are those fellows up there?"
"Silver statues of the twelve apostles," he was told.
"Take them down, melt them into coin, and send them out to do good," said he, brusquely.
The best things—faith, peace, love, joy, contentment—can not be purchased. The best things are absolutely free. "Whosoever will" may have them.
