FROM MY PORT FOLIO, ORIGINAL AND SELECTED, TOGETHER WITH A RELIGIOUS NARRATIVE. BY MISS MARGARET CUMMINS. ST. LOUIS, MO.: WM. E. FOOTE, BOOK AND JOB PRINTER, THIRD ST., OPPOSITE P. 0. 1860. Rare Book C85 PREFACE. In presenting this little volume before the Christian public, the author will regard it as no small favor that the mantle of charity be thrown over its imperfections. It had not been her design to bring it before the public until a few months since, being induced as a means of support to do so, as well as an humble aim to aid the sincere seeker in the way of holiness, by a simple narrative of her Christian experience of some years past. Should such be the case, and but one soul is benefited, her labors will not have been in vain. |
