A friend came to Neville desperately needing a larger income for his family's education; his bank position held no hope of advancement. Neville taught him what to do, and while Neville was away in Barbados he did it; on his return the friend told him he had secured a fabulous position with the Rockefeller Foundation, where he still is. But as time went on, being so literal minded, he began to forget how it came about, and now gives full credit to the man who spoke to him in church and eventually invited him into the Foundation. That man is now a powerful figure in his mind and the cause of his good fortune: he has transferred the glory that belongs to God to the image of a man.
