The Athenian boy and
Spartan boy both rose immediately. The Athenian boy sat down, but the
Spartan boy still stood. He insisted that the old man take his seat, but
the old man gently refused, and passed on up the aisle to the place from
which he was to address the people. Then the Spartan boy sat down. The
old man recognized this act of courtesy, and, while talking to the boys,
said that the Athenian boy knew what to do, but did not do it. The
Spartan boy had the courage to do it.
TWENTY-THIRD PSALM.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures: he leadeth me beside the
still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me
in paths of righteousness for his
name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no
evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in
the presence of mine enemies: thou
annointest my head with oil; my cup
runneth over.
