There Is a Power That Shapes Our Ends in Hard Times
Grant Miller recounts a tale from the Christian Herald about J. C. S. Johnstone who, facing poverty after a betrayed partnership, gives his last nickel to a Salvation Army worker. A dollar from later donors follows, he finds work, builds wealth, and credits faith and philanthropy with sustaining him. The piece then discusses tensions between organized labor and farmers, noting farmer independence and distrust of both capitalists and unions.
