Book Description

Excerpt from The Man With a Conscience To-Day the perplexities of the man with a conscience may not be more vital than his difficulties of creed, but they are more distressing. Christian doctrines are with him too largely intellectual fogs or mysteries. He feels that many of his duties are matters of life and death. He will not take time in these crowded days to think Christian truths through. They seem like hazy abstractions. But in duties he is dealing with flesh and blood, with his wife and children, his everyday associates, with men and business and life. Does he wonder what to do with a wayward son? Shall he send him to college, where to the son the chief thing may be sports, excesses, and temptations, which are the mere incidents to the earnest student? Or shall he take him into business, where he will be tried as by fire in the handling of money or in assuming great responsibilities? What is he to do? Or, like the noble Christian manufacturer who told of his perplexity, he may be considering the question of lowering the wages of his already hard-pushed workingmen. I saw the committee sent by the men emerge from his office. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
