Publisher's Synopsis
The Abominations of Modern Society is a Christian education classic by Rev. T. De Witt Talmage that serves as a guide to proper Christian etiqutte and conduct of life. The book is not more for young men than old. The Calabria was wrecked "the last day out." Nor is the book more for men than women. The best being that God ever made is a good woman, and the worst that the devil ever made is a bad one. If anything herein shall be a warning either to man or woman, I will be glad that the manuscript was caught up between the sharp teeth of the type. Contents: The Curtain Lifted -- Winter Nights -- The Power of Clothes -- After Midnight -- The Indiscriminate Dance -- The Massacre by Needle and Sewing-Machine -- Pictures in the Stock Gallery -- Leprous Newspapers -- The Fatal Ten-Strike -- Some of the Club-Houses -- Flask, Bottle, and Demijohn -- House of Blackness of Darkness -- The Gun that Kicks over the Man who Shoots it off -- Lies: White and Black -- The Good Time Coming
