Beginning with the story of Robert, the workshop apprentice, "Godliness is Great Gain" contains six moving stories of people who walked in integrity before the Lord and enjoyed much blessing for those choices later in life. Robert's loyalty and diligence in a dismal job results in great recognition and advancement later in life; Arthur's kindness to a poor woman in the rain, who everyone else finds easy to ignore, comes back to bring blessing to him; Mrs. Warner has a change of heart about people she deems not worthy of her company; and other stories that show how God unexpectedly rewards many a good deed. This volume is one of the eleven titles in the "Children's Character-Building Collection", our popular reprints of 19th-century Christian books for young children.
