A gentleman visiting one of the hospitals for lepers in India, and wishing to test the nurse on duty said,
“You must have a great deal of the enthusiasm for humanity to labor here among these awful cases of disease.”
“Enthusiasm for humanity, indeed,” replied the nurse, “that would not keep me here a week; but I do possess some of the compassion and enthusiasm of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that is the reason why I am content to live and labor amid such surroundings.”
