Episode 82 - The Fruit of Goodness

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.When William McKinley was President of the United States, he was called upon to appoint an ambassador to a foreign country. As he was considering which man to appoint, he recalled an incident that helped him to decide. Years previously, he had boarded a streetcar during rush hour, and an elderly woman got on, carrying a heavy basket. No one got up to offer her a seat, so she stood unsteadily holding her heavy load.One of the men McKinley was later to consider for ambassador was sitting next to where the woman was standing, but refused to offer his seat.The soon to be president, noticed this exchange, and offered this dear woman his own seat. Later, that one little act of selfishness would later deprive that man of a prestigious position.
