Product Description: After she became a Christian, Mary tried to help children whose lives were as bleak as her own. She held Bible classes to tell them of the friend she had found in Christ Jesus. She took classes of boys into the countryside for picnics and raced and played with them. Her behavior raised the eyebrows of people in the pews who always wanted things done "properly."

Some toughs did not want to hear what Mary had to say. They jeered and slung mud at her. Once they surrounded her while their leader whirled a lead weight around and around on a string, approaching closer and closer to her face. She stood without flinching, praying inwardly, but determined not to duck or run. The lead grazed her forehead, but she stood with steady eyes. The ringleader dropped the lead. "Its OK boys. She's game!" He made his whole gang attend meeting that night. With persistent effort she led many youngsters to Christ.
