Shoulder Someone's Burden

Dr. Albert Schweitzer was one of the most famous missionaries of the modern era. Leaving behind both an academic career (he had a Ph.D. in both theology and physics) and a concert career (he was also a renowned concert organist) he set up a medical clinic in French Equatorial Africa at Lambarene, on the banks of the Ogowe River.

When he was 85 years old Schweitzer and some others were walking up a hill. It was about eleven in the morning. The equatorial sun was beating down mercilessly.

When he rejoined the group one of them asked why, in view of his age, he did things like that.

Schweitzer looked at the group, then pointed to the woman and said, "No one should ever have to carry a burden like that alone."
