STORY: Training By Example by Bert Balling

Story title: Training By Example
By: Bert Balling

      Albert Schweitzer is known all over the world as a theologian, a philosopher, a medical doctor, and a musician; but most of all, as a dedicated missionary who spent more than 50 years nursing lepers in the jungles of Lambarene  in West Africa.
     Once when he was on home leave back in Europe, some of his relatives asked him for some advice
on the best way to raise children. Schweitzer did not launch out int0o a long explanation. His answer was cut and dried, short and simple and, therefore, all the more convincing.
     "So you want to know the best way of raising children?," he said. "Well, first by good example. Second, by good example. Third, by good example."
