Answer:
From Brink of Death
Mr. John was an orphan. He worked as a clerk in a London solicitor's office. As he was friendless, he joined the company of bad people and lost all his savings betting on horses. He stole some money from the office safe for the final gamble. But he failed in the gamble. Terrified of the prosecution that must follow he tried to commit suicide. But the timely intervention of the doctor, landlady and sergeant saved him.
The doctor came forward with his minor contribution of seven pounds and ten shillings to put back the money in the office safe. The sergeant promised to make no report of the case. The landlady offered him a month's freeboard. After that incident, Mr. John became a man who loved charity and sacrificed his belongings for orphan kids. He found time to act as the director of a charitable organization devoted to the care of boys and girls mostly from the city slums. His wife also helped him in doing charity work.
