Book Description

Excerpt from The Prodigal "Let him commute his eternal fear with a temporal suffering', preventing God's judgment by choosing one of his own." - Jeremy Taylor. I An August fog was drifting inland from the bay. In thin places the blue Contra Costa hills showed through, and the general grayness was tinged with pearl. San Francisco dripped and steamed along her bristling water-front; derricks loomed black, and yards and topmasts reddened, as a fringe of winter woodland colors up at the turn of the year. Morton Day, a young New Englander who filled the place of "outside man" for Bradshaw & Company, was working over some cargo lists in the general office on Sansome Street.
