Review:
This wonderful reproduction of the early 1900’s book that showed up in many orphanages in America and is solely a boy book. It tells many stories of several boy’s temptations, failures, and triumphs, and is a must read for all boys. Highly recommended!
In a nutshell: For the first time ever, I feel compelled to give you and excerpt. So here you go!
“As wounds leave scars, so, my dear child, youthful sins leave the traces of their existence. Like the scars of the healed wound, they disfigure and weaken the soul. The follies of youth may be overcome, but they are always sure to leave their mark. Every sin of childhood hangs like a weight upon the neck of manhood . The blood of Jesus Christ alone cleanseth all sin.” – From page 20, “Those Scars”
