Sarah Smith of Golder's Green

One of the most powerful expressions of humble, servant-like caring for others is found in C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce, in the character of Sarah Smith of Golders Green. Her quiet life of love transformed the lives of everyone she encountered, even down to the little animals in her care. Of her life's impact, a character says, "It is like when you throw a stone into a pool, and the concentric waves spread out further and further. Who knows where it will end? ...But already there is joy enough in the little finger of a great saint such as yonder lady to waken all the dead things of the universe into life."
