SACRIFICE, Love, Calvary: When Do I Die?
"For thy servant became surety for the lad" (\reference{Genesis
44:32}{Genesis 44:32}).
Five-year-old Mary was obliged to undergo an operation, and lost so
much blood that it was necessary to resort to blood transfusion. The
blood of thirteen-year-old brother Jimmy was found by test to match
exactly the little patient's. "Will you give your sister some of your
blood, Jim?" asked the doctor. Jimmy set his teeth. "Yes, sir, if she
needs it." He was prepared for the transfusion. In the midst of the
drawing of the blood, the doctor observed Jimmy growing paler and
paler. "Are you ill, Jim?" he asked. "No, sir, but I'm wondering just
when I'll die." "Die?" gasped the doctor. "Do you think people give
their lives when they give a little blood?" "Yes, sir," replied Jimmy.
"And you are giving your life for Mary's?" "Yes, sir," replied Jimmy.
Can you tell me of a finer heroism than this? -- From AMOS R. WELLS,
