Special Payday

June 26

One of my duties as a Seconbd Lieutenant while stationed in the Canal Zone was to pay the Panamanian drivers employed by the U.S. Army. I was shocked at how little money each received every two weeks. At the pay table there was a jar for contributions for some cause. Few put anything in it. One day the jar was filling up.I turned it to read. "For Red Cross flood relief for New England families." Someone had written below that; "This is where the Lieutenant is from."

“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35)
