　 　：完美新世界

　　He was 9—in a Sunday school class of 8-year-olds. Eight-year-olds can be cruel.

　　The third-graders did not wele Philip to their group. Not just because he was older. He was “different.” He suffered from Down’s syndrome and its obvious manifestations: facial characteristics, slow responses, symptoms of retardation.

　　One Sunday after Easter the Sunday school teacher gathered some of those plastic eggs that pull apart in the middle—the kind in which some ladies’ pantyhose are packaged.

　　The Sunday school teacher gave one of these plastic eggs to each child.

　　On that beautiful spring day each child was to go outdoors and discover for himself some symbol of “new life” and place that symbolic seed or leaf or whatever inside his egg.

　　They would then open their eggs one by one, and each youngster would explain how his find was a symbol of “new life.”

　　So …

　　The youngsters gathered 'round on the appointed day and put their eggs on a table, and the teacher began to open them.

　　One child had found a flower. All the children “oohed” and “aahed” at the lovely symbol of new life. In another was a butterfly. “Beautiful,” the girls said. And it’s not easy for an 8-year-old to say “beautiful.”

　　Another egg was opened to reveal a rock. Some of the children laughed. “That’s crazy!” one said. “How’s a rock supposed to be like a ‘new life’?”

　　Immediately the little boy spoke up and said, “That’s mine. I knew everybody would get flowers and leaves and butterflies and all that stuff, so I got a rock to be different.

　　Everyone laughed.

　　The teacher opened the last one, and there was nothing inside.

　　“That’s not fair,” someone said. “That’s stupid,” said another.

　　Teacher felt a tug on his shirt. It was Philip. Looking up he said, “It’s mine. I did do it. It’s empty. I have new life because the tomb is empty.”

　　The class fell silent.

　　From that day on Philip became part of the group. They weled him. Whatever had made him different was never mentioned again.

　　Philip’s family had known he would not live a long life; just too many things wrong with the tiny body. That summer, overe with infection, Philip died.

　　On the day of his funeral nine 8-year-old boys and girls confronted the reality of death and marched up to the altar—not with flower. Nine children with their Sunday school teacher placed on the casket of their friend their gift of love—an empty egg.

　 　：鼓励的力量

　　Some of the greatest success stories of history have followed a word of encouragement or an act of confidence by a loved one or a trusting friend. Had it not been for a confident wife, Sophia, we might not have listed among the great names of literature the name of Nathaniel Hawthorne. When Nathaniel, a heartbroken man, went home to tell his wife that he was a failure and had been fired from his job in a customhouse, she surprised him with an exclamation of joy.

　　"Now," she said triumphantly, "you can write your book!"

　　"Yes," replied the man, with sagging confidence, "and what shall we live on while I am writing it?"

　　To his amazement, she opened a drawer and pulled out a substantial amount of money.

　　"Where on earth did you get that?" he exclaimed.

　　"I have always know you were a man of genius," she told him. "I knew that someday you would write a masterpiece. So every week, out of the money you gave me for housekeeping, I saved a little bit. So here is enough to last us for one whole year."

　　From her trust and confidence came one of the greatest novels of American literature, The Scarlet Letter.
