Original maroon cloth on blindstamped boards. Lizzie has grown up helping her mother care for new babies until there are six of them. Suddenly Lizzie's legs give way, and her back is affected, too. She loves her father for taking care of her and worries about not being able to help her mother. Lizzie prizes a picture, a copy of Pilgrim's Progress, and a beautiful plant, and feels content with her lot. Her father begins going to "the preaching", and eventually Lizzie has a little Bible all her own. An inspiring story of family love, self-effacement, and genuine Christianity. Two previous owners' names. Last three leaves have dark foxing, but readable. 48 pp.
