This valuable collection of reprinted stories from the 19th century, includes first, The Widow's Son --- the story of a yong man whose move into the city brings him into conflicts of conscience with the morals taught him by his mother. In time, the grace of God alters him to how careless his paths are. The 2nd story, The Watchmaker and His family shows how a thankful and contented attitude makes all the difference, and that we can be satisfied in what God has for us, even when it is not all we would want. The concluding story, 'Tis All For The Best, reveals how much our understanding of life's events is transformed by a trust in sovereign God, who works all things according to the wisdom of His will and together for the good of those He loves.
