She said, I have one of those, I bought it last year from a young man who passed here ... I asked her if she liked it. She said 'yes' it is a very good book. There was a girl also in the house who seemed to be in on some business. I showed her St Paul's Epistle to the Romans, St Peter's Epistles & St John in one little book & I handed the woman the book called the Sinner's Friend. They bought both the books'. |
