520			_a"The High Calling" by Charles M. Sheldon is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Douglas family, particularly their eldest son, Walter, as he navigates the challenges of pursuing an education in electrical engineering while grappling with issues of integrity, family values, and social pressures. Through the struggles faced by Walter, the book touches on themes of moral character and the choices between personal ambition and ethical conduct. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Paul Douglas, who is concerned about his son Walter's decision to attend Burrton Electrical and Engineering School instead of joining the family newspaper business. Paul abounds with hope that Walter will adhere to the principles of hard work and humility, especially as Walter shows an inclination toward a more luxurious lifestyle—a conflict that becomes evident when he expresses envy toward the wealthier students. Additionally, the opening chapters delve into the character dynamics of the Douglas family, providing a glimpse into their home life, particularly the strong moral training provided by Paul and Esther. As Walter's decisions lead to complications involving gambling debts and an invention he arrives at through morally questionable means, his journey underscores the importance of genuine character and the potential pitfalls of ambition unchecked by ethical considerations.
