How could he use this great power which he held?
Every blessing which he tried to give turned itself into a curse.

His intentions were so good, and yet the results were so terrible.

It was as if he had some foul leprosy of the mind which all caught who were exposed to his influence.

His charity, so well meant, so carefully bestowed, had yet poisoned the whole countryside.

And if in small things his results were so evil, how could he tell that they would be better in the larger plans which he had formed?
If he could not pay the debts of a simple yokel without disturbing the great laws of cause and effect which lie at the base of all things, what could he hope for when he came to fill the treasury of nations, to interfere with the complex conditions of trade, or to provide for great masses of the population?
He drew back with horror as he dimly saw that vast problems faced him in which he might make errors which all his money could not repair.
