I work at a Care Center where most of the people are elderly. About a year and a half ago a

59-year-old lady came to us who had cancer. She had to have her right leg amputated(

切除

)and

she didn’t have a family to take care of her after t

he operation.

This lady was a quiet lady who mostly stayed alone. But in the afternoons, when she was

feeling well, she would go to visit the other people in the Care Center. She would visit a lady who

was blind and read to her. She would go into the room of a young girl with severe cerebral

palsy(

脑瘫

)and sing to her. In her quiet and gentle way, she would go about the Care Center doing

goods.

She passed away last Wednesday and after her passing, stories are coming forward of her

quiet acts of kindness in her own hour of sorrow.

We never know what impact we have upon others. She had every reason to be bitter, to be

angry, or to be swallowed up in her own grief. But she wasn’t. She didn’t have a family and

probably felt forgotten, but her small and quiet acts of service made an impact upon the entire

Care Center.

Each of us feels better than before for having known her. We have pledged(

发誓

)to be more

aware of the service that we can offer to others.

A woman saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard, hungry. She did

not know them but invited them in. ― We do not go into a house together,‖ they replied. And she

asked why.

One of the old men ex

plained: ―His name is Wealth,‖ pointing to one of his friends, ―and he

is Success, and I am Love.‖ Then he added, ― Now go in and discuss with your husband which one

of us you want in your home.‖

The woman went in and told her husband what had happened. Her husband was overjoyed.

―How nice!‖ he said. ―Since that is the case, let Wealth come in and fill our home with wealth!‖

His wife disagreed, ―My dear, why not invite Success?‖ Their daughter

-in-law gave her own

suggestion: ―Wouldn’t it be better to

invite Love? Our home will be filled with love then.‖ ―Let’s

heed our daughter-in-

law’s advice,‖ said the husband to his wife. ―Go out and invite Love to be

our guest.‖

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed

him. Surprised, the woman asked Wealth and Success, ―I only invited Love, why are you coming

in?‖

The old men replied together. ―If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us

would have stayed out. But since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever

there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!‖

He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the

sinking of the Titanic in 1912. His tiny body so moved the salvage(

救援

) workers that they called

him ―our baby.‖ In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a

headstone in front of the baby’s grave

(

墓< /p>

)

, carved with the words: ―To the memory of an

unknown child.‖ He has rested there ever since.

But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a

family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. ―This is our baby,‖ says

Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great- aunt named Maria

Panula, 42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According

to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for

her five children

—

including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become

separated during the final minutes of the crossing. ―We thought they were all lost in the sea,‖ says

Schleifer.

Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby’s grave, scientists have comp

ared the

DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost

relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one

possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees no need for

a new grave. ―He belongs to the

people of Halifax,‖ says Schleifer. ―They’ve taken care of him for 90 years.‖
