Rabbi Meir, after closing his
lectures on the Book of Job, used
to say: "Man's predestined end
is to (lie. that of the dumb animal,
to be killed; both have death to
look forward to. Blessed is he who
works for the Truth, who obeys
his Creator, has made a good
name for himself and leaves a
good name after him, when he
departs from this world. For a
good name is better than sweet
oil, and deat• better than birth."

Rabbi Jochanan hen Sakkai
had five disciples: Eliasar, Josh-
ua, Jose, Simon Eleazar. He called
them and asked: "Tell me, which
is the gireatest possession for
men?"—Eliasar said: a clear eye.
Joshua: a true friend. Jose: a
good neighbor. Simon: caution.
Eleazar: a kind, good heart.—And
the master said: Eleazar has
given the best answer, for a good
and kind heart holds all the
other possessions within itself.
