A young girl, Hattie, stood outside a small church. "I can"t go to Sunday School," she said to the pastor(牧师). The next time the 21 met her he said "Hattie, we are going to have a larger Sunday school room soon. When we get the 22 with which to found a school building we are going to 23 one large enough to get all the little children in, and we are going to begin very soon to 24 the money for it."
The pastor did not see Hattie 25 , until he heard from her parents some two years later that Hattie died. As her poor little body was being moved, a purse was found. Inside was found 57 cents and a note 26 : "This is to help build the little church 27 so more children can go to Sunday school."
For two years she had saved for this offering of 28 . When the pastor tearfully read that 29 , he knew instantly what he would do. 30 this note, he told the 31 of her love and devotion.
A newspaper 32 the story and published it. A man 33 them a land worth many thousands. Checks came from far and wide. Within five years the little girl"s gift had 34 to $250,000.00 a huge sum for that time.
Her unselfish love had 35 wonders. When you are in the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple University, 36 hundreds of students are trained. Have a look, 37 , at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of Sunday scholars, 38 no child in the area will ever need to be left outside at Sunday school time. In one of the rooms of this 39 may be seen the picture of the sweet face of the little 40 whose 57 cents made such remarkable history.
Doctor Carson is an internationally recognized doctor atJohns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He has been the director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the hospital for twenty-five years. At the age of thirty-three, he became one of the youngest doctors in the United States to hold that position. And he was the first African-American to have that position at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Ben Carson is known for his work as a brain surgeon for children. For example, in nineteen eighty-seven, he led a team of seventy doctors and nurses in an operation to separate two babies joined at the head. Earlier attempts by other surgeons on other babies had failed. Doctor Carson successfully performed the operation. Both babies were able to survive independently.
Doctor Carson has written four books. His first book, "Gifted Hands," tells the story of his life. Benjamin Carson was born in nineteen fifty-one in Detroit, Michigan.
As a boy, Ben was not a good student. In fact, he was the worst in his class. When his mother learned of his failing grades she asked her sons to read two library books every week. She limited the amount of time they watched television. And she told them to respect every person.
Ben Carson soon became the top student in his class. He went on to study at Yale University, one of the best universities in the country, and later to medical school at the University of Michigan.
Doctor Carson has received many awards and honors. Last year he received the nation"s highest civilian honor. Former President George W. Bush presented Benjamin Carson with the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a ceremony at the White House.
