Seven Days of Robe rt Hardy Ends in Quiet Faith
A philandering yet prosperous buss man Hardy declines to lead a Sunday class and shirks his minister's letter. After a near-fatal accident at the railroad shops and a life-saving act for a dying co-worker, Hardy reforms, urges shop safety, and aids injured workers. His ill daughter Clara survives a grave crash, though blindness and deafness loom. In a town-wide revival, his public sermon and family ordeal culminate as midnight nears, and Hardy prays with renewed faith, marking seven days and a final, peaceful hour.
