During the American Revolution a man in civilian clothes rode past a group of soldiers repairing a small defensive barrier. Their leader was shouting instructions, but making no attempt to help them.
When the rider asked the corporal why he
did not help his men, he retorted with great dignity, “Sir, I am a corporal!”
The stranger apologized, dismounted &
proceeded to help the exhausted soldiers. When the job was finished he turned
to the corporal & said:
“Mr. Corporal, next time you have a job
like this & not enough men to do it, go to your commander-in-chief, and I
will come & help you again.”
It was none other than George Washington.

Gal 6:2 (NLV): “Help each other in troubles
and problems. This is the kind of law Christ asks us to obey.”
“It's a matter of taking the side of the
weak against the strong, something the best people have always done.” - Harriet Beecher Stowe.
