A Japanese Mother’s Sacrifice

A JAPANESE mother, on hearing that her son was exempted from military service on the ground that she was dependent upon his earnings, took a dagger and plunged it into her own heart, and, giving the dagger to her son, told him that now he was free to fight for the fatherland. He immediately volunteered for the service. Parents who stand in the way of their children's going into the mission field may learn a lesson from this woman. Her love of country did for her what the love of Christ has not done for them.—Selected.
