There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon The argument is pushed a step farther. The celestial bodies are not all alike. They differ in beauty and excellency. And so to all eternity it shall be true of men raised and in possession of their heavenly bodies, that -one star differeth from another star in glory." So Chrysostom on 1 Corinthians 15:38. "Augustine elegantly says, -splendor dispar: cœlum commune." " Wordsworth. An erroneous interpretation of St Matthew 20:10 has led some to the conclusion that all rewards shall be exactly alike in the world to come. As the Apostle here shews, the analogy of nature makes against this in every way.

The labourer is rewarded, not for length of service, but for the spirit in which that service has been rendered.
