The Turning Point

His early life was one long battle against poverty, against Fate. His mother was attacked by blindness, the result of hard work, and because of his poverty he was unable to provide the necessary treatment which the physician said she required. His mother's total blindness, followed by her death, left him embittered against the entire world and filled him with one overwhelming desire, to accumulate wealth, the only power the world recognizes. He succeeded, he became rich beyond expectations, but his heart remained hard, his nature unsympathetic and deaf to all appeals of a charitable nature. History repeats itself. He had a stenographer who was supporting her mother. The time came when this mother was also attacked by blindness. When the poor girl was informed of the state of affairs, and that it would require a fee of five hundred dollars to restore her mother's sight, she was crushed with grief, for she did not have the money. The cashier, who cared for the stenographer, thought he saw his way clear to helping her by advancing the necessary sum out of the petty cash, intending to replace it before payday. Unfortunately, the cashier was ordered to report for duty in South America and an auditor arrives who went over his accounts and discovered the shortage. The hard-hearted head of the concern was informed of the apparent theft of the money and orders his cashier's immediate arrest. The stenographer went to him, explained matters most fully and pleaded for forgiveness for the cashier, but without avail. The man was obdurate. Then it was that he had a vision of his own past life, his own mother's need, and his inability to assist her. In a moment his heart was softened. His eyes were opened to a new view of life and he relented. The officer who came to lead the cashier to prison was sent away.
