182643156Philadelphia: American Sunday-School Union n.d. Circa 1826. A preacher in England bumps into an old Sunday School student of his named John Robins. The two get to talking and Robins tells how he managed to lose an eye and a best friend at Trafalgar and then a leg in the course of his naval career. He spent quite a while "in the service of sin" but eventually found his way back to the Lord and now is perfectly happy to have been "a brand plucked out of the burning." Well to each his own.

Foxing but legible. 16mo. 32 pp. b/w wood engraved illustrations. American Sunday-School Union hardcover books
