COMPASSION IS WARMER
Two men were riding on a sleigh during a blizzard. Almost frozen and afraid they would not reach warmth and safety, they came upon another traveler who had fallen in the snow and was near death from the terrific cold. One suggested that they stop and help. The other refused, saying that to stop might keep them from reaching safety. He insisted on going on. The first man, however, decided to stay and help the unfortunate man. He immediately set himself to the task of massaging the body of the badly frostbitten man to restore his circulation. After long and hard work, the man responded and was saved. The rescuer was also saved. His work in helping another had kept him alive. The other man who had refused to help the freezing man was found some distance away. He had frozen to death.
