Reporters and city officials gathered at a Chicago railroad station one
afternoon in 1953. The person they were meeting was the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize
winner. A few minutes after the train came to a stop, a giant of a man - six
feet four inches - with bushy hair and a large mustache stepped from the
train. Cameras flashed. City officials approached him with hands outstretched.
Various people began telling him how honored they were to meet him.

The man politely thanked them and then, looking over their heads, asked if he
could be excused for a moment. He quickly walked through the crowd until he
reached the side of an elderly black woman who was struggling with two large
suitcases. He picked up the bags and with a smile, escorted the woman to a
bus. After helping her aboard, he wished her a safe journey. As he returned to
the greeting party he apologized, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

The man was Dr. Albert Schweitzer, the famous missionary doctor who had spent
his life helping the poor in Africa. In response to Schweitzer's action, one
member of the reception committee said with great admiration to the reporter
standing next to him, "That's the first time I ever saw a sermon walking."
