v. 16. A man's gift, sent before him to procure favor for him, maketh room for him, giving him ready access to the one whose favor he is seeking, and bringeth him before great men, for it opens the doors of the mighty before him, this being true not only in the Orient, but also in the midst of our Western civilization.
