“This excellent story tells how a cripple boy rose superior to his environment and not only secured for himself a good position in life, but helped to reform his drunken father and his thoughtless and slovenly brothers and sisters. He had a hard time of it, and suffered considerably at first, but the kindly help and sympathy of the vicar, coupled with his own good sense, brought him safely through.”
