| Evidence: | "... [Marianne Farningham's autobiography] records her childhood disappointment, when reading the Sunday School Union's magazines, at the incessant stories of poor boys who had risen to be rich and great men: 'Every month I hoped to find the story of some poor ignorant girl who ... had yet been able by her own efforts and the blessing of God ... to live a life of usefulness, if not of greatness.'" |
