A CHAPLAIN WHO UNDERSTOOD HIS ROLE...

(A true story from WWll)
A chaplain on the battlefield came to a man who was wounded, lying on the ground. "Would you like me to read you something from this Book--the Bible?" he asked the soldier.
"I'm so thirsty," replied the man; "I would rather have a drink of water." Quickly as he could the chaplain brought the water. Then the soldier asked, "Could you put something under my head?" The chaplain took off his light overcoat, rolled it, and put it gently under the soldier's head for a pillow "Now," said the soldier, "If I had something over me! I am very cold." There was only one thing the chaplain could do. He took off his own coat, and spread it over the soldier. The wounded man looked up into his face, and said gratefully, "Thank you." Then he added feebly, "If there is anything in that Book in your hand that makes a man do for another what you have done for me, please read it to me."
