A Turning Point.—

“The turning-point in my life,” said a gentleman, “was in refusing, when I was a boy, to go to a low circus. Some kind of low show and circus came into town, and of course all the boys were dying to go. My mother did not want me to go. I might have stolen off; I had money enough in my pocket. The boys did all they could to persuade me, and, more than all, people were going in squads to see it. It is so easy to go with the multitude; it is so hard to make a stand, break away, and go the other way. That is exactly what I did. I ‘mastered the situation’ I mastered myself, and did not go. It was the resolution then called out, and called out perhaps for the first time, which has served me many a good turn since, and made me what I am. Look sharp for the turning-points, and make a right decision.
