Emphasis Preaching Journal

When a leader of Polish Solidarity and his family were thrown out of Poland and came to America, they depended heavily on a son named Padwel. The boy spoke the language and was able to open bank accounts, buy groceries, fill out insurance forms, and write checks. Without him the family would have found it difficult, if not impossible, to survive in this country.

Padwel also became sick, but he refused to see a doctor because of the cost and inconvenience to others. When he died of cancer, everyone was shocked, so well had he hidden his pain and despair.
