Little Medicine Carrier

by Charlotte Grace O'Brien, Ralph Bouma (Editor)

No story is more beloved, among those of the Children's Character Building Collection, than The Little Medicine Carrier. And now, in a new edition with a beautiful cover, painted by Caffy Whitney! It's the story of a small, poor boy named George, who seeks to help his mother provide for the family by taking a job delivering medicines for the town doctor to the ill people of his village. His journeys about town become quite adventurous!, as George meets some who inspire him to serve God more faithfully, and others who press him to yield to temptations to be deceitful and dishonest. A great story to teach your children about the value of integrity and faithfulness, even when no men are watching us, but living under the eye of God.
