The courts have had something to say about the value of a man. A boy lost his hand and the courts allowed him $1,700. An eighteen-month-old child toddled into an alley where some rubbish was burning, and three toes were injured; the court allowed $750 damage. A young woman whose specialty was judging perfumes had her nose insured for $50,000. A Kansas City lad was so injured by a live wire that he could never smile again, and the courts allowed $20,000 damage. It seems that a boy’s ability to smile is worth a lot. Ian Kubelik, great violinist, had the fingers of his left hand insured for $250,000; while Paderewski, the great pianist, carried $10,000,000 on his fingers. But how infinitely much more is the soul of a man worth! Its value can be rightly judged only when we consider that it took the blood of the Son of God to purchase its redemption.<\/p>\n
