June 26
One of my duties 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 often was a jar for contributions for some cause. Few put anything in it.
One payday the jar filled. I turned it to read it. "For Red Cross flood relief for New England families;" Handwritten below that; "This is where the Lieutenant is from."
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35)
