In a remote district of Wales a baby boy lay dangerously ill. The widowed mother walked five miles through the night in the drenching rain to get the doctor.He hesitated about making the unpleasant trip. He questioned ,"Would it pay"? He knew that he would receive little money for his services, if the child were saved, he would only become a poor laborer. But love for humanity and a sense of professional responsibility conquered, and the little child's life was saved.
Years after when this same child became first chancellor
of the Exchequer and the later Prime Minister of England, the old doctor said, "I never dreamed that in saving that child on the farm hearth, I was saving the life of a national leader" God is constantly justified in the responsibilities He has placed upon us for showing kindness to one another.
