What would you do if a seriously
wounded soldier in need of medical
and surgical aid and careful nursing
should be brought to your door this
minute? Would you turn him away and
see him die? No! You would take him
in and be only too glad to nurse him
back to health and strength, provide
him with every comfort and delicacy
he might desire, lavish your best
upon him and feel that even then you
had done but little in comparison to
what he had done for you. What would
