| Summary | "History of Orrin Pierce" by American Sunday-School Union is a historical account likely written in the mid-19th century. This book explores the formative experiences of a young boy named Orrin Pierce, focusing on his early life, values, and faith, particularly through the lens of Christian teachings. The narrative reflects themes of morality, parental guidance, and the significance of education in a religious context. The story unfolds with Orrin growing up under the nurturing care of his mother, who instills in him a love for Scripture and the natural world. After facing the profound loss of his mother, Orrin is taken in by his uncle and continues to embody the values taught to him, becoming a model student and a kind friend. His commitment to faith leads him to teach in a Sunday school and ultimately aspire to become a missionary, dedicated to spreading the Gospel to those in need. The book emphasizes the importance of continual learning, compassion toward others, and the enduring impact of a mother's love and teachings throughout one's life.
