Nettie Beldon's Sunday-school class had decided to make Christmas happy for a poor community in the south by shipping them a barrel full of Christmas presents. Nettie likes the idea, but unlike her wealthier Sunday-school friends, Nettie has only ten cents to spend. How can she possibly buy a nice gift to add to the barrel with so little money? Whatever Nettie sends will have to be made by hand, and with plenty of love. Is it possible that Nettie's small gift, given in Jesus' name, can make a difference in the life of a stranger in need? This edition of the 1894 classic Christian novel includes a biography of the author.
