Self-Sacrifice for Others
Philippians 2:4
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.


An engineer in the Southwest, on a locomotive, recently saw a train coming with which he must collide. He resolved to stand at his post and slow up the train until the last minute, for there were passengers behind. The engineer said to the fireman, "Jump! One man is enough on this engine. Jump!" The fireman jumped, and was saved. The crash came. The engineer died at his post.

(T. De Witt Talmage.)
