The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew By Margaret Sidney May we all be encouraged to behave selflessly, in a Christ-like manner, as these "Little Peppers" did. "Whosoever shall receive one of such children in My name, receiveth Me: and whosoever shall receive Me, receiveth not Me, but him that sent Me." ~ Mark 9:37 ~ TO THE MEMORY OF MY MOTHER; wise in counsel - tender in judgment, and in all charity - strengthful in Christian faith and purpose - I dedicate, with reverence, this simple book.
