Salt-Lake Fruit: A Latter-Day Romance
George E. Spencer
Paperback
(Forgotten Books, June 28, 2012)
Those facts upon which the romance hinges are more hideous in their naked truth than thus clothed in fictions drapery. Human nature, weak, erring, is prone to sin. But ever between temptation and sin stand the two sentinels which guard civilization, and keep open the road to advance. Law and religion oppose their mighty front to mans brutality. To his better nature they lend their force. For his errors they mete unto him punishment, they waken shame for past falls, resolution for a better life. Even though he believe not the tenets of any faith, even though he be so unfortunate as to thrust aside all creeds that cannot be proven by human rules, yet will cling to him those lessons of morality learned at his mothers knee, yet will he feel disgust at his own and others relapses into sin, and, unbidden, rise shames blush to his cheek as memory brings back scenes and deeds he would forget.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
