James and Harry came to London and stayed in the same hotel.
James came in in a great hurry one evening．A friend had offered him a ticket for a play. He saw a 1etter on the hall table．“That will keep till I get back，”he thought，“no time to lose now．”And he went off．
Harry came in a minute after James．There was a letter for him，too，which he opened at once．It was from the secretary(秘书)of a company，offering him a post(职位)in their office. He Was told to be there at 10 a．m．the next morning，as there were others who wanted the job.
James got back from the play at midnight．He was sleepy．“That letter can be opened in the morning，”he thought．The next morning when he woke up，he at once jumped out of bed，tore(撕)it open-his face fell .It was a similar letter to the one Harry had received the night before. But James’ chance was gone .It was five to ten, and he could never be at the office in time.

The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and picked up four people from the street. One of them was in a most 15 condition, and I told the others: You look after the other three. I take care of this one who looked 16 . So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful 17 on her face. She took hold of my __18__as she said “thank you” and she died. I asked myself what I would say if I was in her 19. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little 20 to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something else, but she gave me much more---she gave me her grateful love. And she 21 with a smile on her face. As did that man whom we picked up from the drain (下水道), half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. “I have lived like an 22 in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for.” And it was so 23 to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without complaining, without cursing(诅咒) anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel---this is the 24 of our people.
