A collection of short stories to show the sad results that come our way when we do not resist temptation:In the first story, "Young Martin and the Silver Sixpence", Bernard Martin's carelessness with his employer's money gets him in trouble, and then he is tempted to conceal something in his possession which is not his. The second story, the famous and much-published "Farmer Goodwin's Rule" (never do during the day that which will worry you at night), Randy is ashamed of being the one who stands for what is right, and learns the hard lessons that come when we compromise our principles; and in the third story, "Albert and Herbert: Who is the Coward?", Herbert fails to muster up the courage to say "No."These stories will ring true in children's hearts and consciences as they remember similar situations that revealed their true character!This volume is one of the eleven titles in the Children s Character-Building Collection , our popular reprints of 19th-century Christian books for young children.
