AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A one-legged parishioner tells his vicar the story of his life as the son of a drunkard, working hard on the streets of London and then on the railway where he saves a train of people after coming back from his first religious meeting. Pithy, humorous and with an eye for the injustice of a Christian company overworking its employees. (PB)
