“18 Slides from Life Models. With Reading.

John Tregenoweth, a Cornish miner, tells the story of his past life. Nineteen years before, while at work in the mine, an explosion occurred which rendered him totally blind. To gain a livelihood, he took to playing a violin on the streets, while his little daughter sang. He became a drunkard, and one night, while under the influence of liquor, struck his daughter on the forehead. The cut healed, but a scar always remained, and one day when his hand was resting on the wound he vowed that never again would he touch the accursed drink. If ever after he was tempted to revert to his old ways, he needed simply to lay his hand on his daughter's forehead and say, 'John Tregenoweth, his mark.' For a time they were in great poverty, but kind friends took pity on them, and latterly he becomes the possessor of a donkey and cart, and in a position to earn a comfortable living. His daughter is also the means of his conversion to Christ.”
