All know that children like pictures but we fear very few realize how lasting is the impression they make upon minds and hearts. Pictures that awaken foolish, impure or unkind thoughts have a tendency to poison the mind and destroy the soul forever. On the other hand, the pictures in this book will suggest thoughts of God and heaven and awaken desires to live pure lives which will sooner or later result in the salvation of many of our young readers. -from "Prefatory Note" This fully illustrated 1895 book of religious stories and inspiration for children is chock full of stimulating lessons and pointed tales, including those of: .The Converted Infidel .The Golden Rule Exemplified .The Dying Child's Prayer for Her Drunken Father .The Little Swiss Girl, Who Died to Save Her Father's Life .Little Jennie's Sickness and Death .How Three Sunday School Children Met Their Fate ."I'll Never Steal Again-If Father Kills Me for It" .Triumphant Death of a Little Child .and many more.
