In presenting this little volume, the author hopes that it may be useful in suggesting to the minds of young boys the great wrong there is in indulging evil habits. We read, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, and this is true concerning most boys who form habits that are harmful both to body and soul. The story of John's life is a true one; and his earnest prayer that it may be the means of helping some boys from Satan's snares and prove a blessing to them, I trust, will be answered.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
