Excerpt from Border Lines in the Field of Doubtful Practices
In discussing these matters, the author recognizes the fact that many persons whose Opinion he values, and to whose character he looks up, take a different view from himself of the subject in question, and that he has no right to say that they are wholly wrong and he alone is right. Therefore, approaching the subject from this stand point and in this spirit, he may appeal more strongly to some who are not influenced by the ordinary arguments put forth by those who will not admit that there is more than one side to the subject.

Excerpt from Border Lines in the Field of Doubtful Practices
Young people usually have different views from old people as to popular amusements and recreations, and as to the better use of both time and money. Each class is likely to feel that the other class is mistaken, and is entertaining an erroneous view of such matters in question. An old saying is that "young people think old ones are fools, and old folks know young ones are." While this is not wholly true, it may truly be said that old persons are prone to forget how life and its occupations looked to them while they were young, and that young persons are unpleasantly conscious of this fact in all discussions with their seniors concerning debatable customs and practice.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tricky question of "border lines" in morality. The author, a clergyman, reflects on practices that were considered acceptable in his youth, yet may carry unforeseen consequences. His focus lies on the use of alcohol and tobacco, subjects that were often debated in the late 19th century. He uses a combination of personal anecdotes and historical examples to illustrate the dangers of indulging in these practices, even in moderation. The book directly tackles the question of personal responsibility in the face of social pressure and prevailing norms. The authorââ â¢s exploration of these controversial topics offers a powerful reflection on the complexities of moral decision-making in a world that constantly grapples with the boundaries of acceptable behavior.
