“24 Slides from Life Modeis. With Reading.

Two orphan boys are discovered by the verger of a country Chapel sitting at its door. He roughly orders them away, but the minister invites them to return. On the next Sabbath they do so, and both are brought to Jesus by the sermon of the minister. Willie, the younger of the boys, falls ill, and is discovered by his Grandmother almost on the verge of death. Bobby is away sweeping crossings to earn a few coppers to get something for them both to eat, and, after an unsuccessful evening's toil, comes back and is greatly amazed at what he finds: Willie lying now in a nice cot, and his Grandmother feeding him with nourishing food. The minister is very kind, and gets them settled in a little cottage, and takes Bobby on as his gardener.”
