Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Matthew and Guide Posts to the Millennium I am well aware of the literary imperfections and lack of proper logical connection and crudities in this production. I had no thought of publishing the essay when I began to write. I began to write to comply with a request to write a paper on Matthew and his gospel, to be read at an Epworth League meeting in the M. E. Church. While writing the essay for the League thoughts on sociology and brotherhood were suggested to my mind. After finishing the essay for the League I wrote this production on christian socialism and brotherhood. I attached the essay on Matthew, written for the League, to this production. The incongruity is not altogether irrelevant to what I write on socialism. If imperative necessity at this time did not demand my time and labor in another direction, I would rewrite and revise the instrument and relieve it, far as I am capable, of its literary inaccuracies and lack of elegance in style, but as the facts contained in the essay, as it is written, are all that is essential to throw light on this infinitely important subject, I conclude that nothing can be gained by delay. I know that the radicalism in my essay will meet with formidable opposition from a large part of the christian clergy, but the facts published in my instrument will be none the less truth that cannot be disproved and will be in harmony with this quotation from Frances E. Willard´s address at the National W. C. T. U. convention at Baltimore in 1847: "Look about you; the products of labor are on every hand; you could not maintain for a moment a well ordered life without them; every object in your room has in it, for discovering eyes, the work of ingenious tools and the pressure of labor´s hands. But is it not this the cruelist injustice for the wealthy, whose lives are surrounded and embellished by labor´s work, to have a superabundance of the money which represents the aggregate of labor in any country, while the laborer himself is kept so steadily at work that he has no time to acquire the education and refinements of life that would make him and his family agreeable companions to the rich and cultured?" The reason why I am a Socialist comes in just here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
