Sunday Magazine Philippians 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Thomas Sampson was a working miner, and worked hard for his bread. The captain of the mine said to him on one occasion, "Thomas, I've got an easier berth for you, where there is little comparatively to do, and where you can earn more money. Will you accept it?" What do you think he said? "Captain, there's our poor brother Tregony. He has a sick body, and he is not able to work as hard as I am. I fear his toil will shorten his useful life. Will you let him have the berth?" The captain, pleased with his generosity, sent for Tregony, and gave him the berth. Thomas was gratified, and added, "I can work a little longer yet."
