A General History of the Sabbatarian Churches

A General History of the Sabbatarian Churches

by Tamar Davis

At the present time, when the Sabbath controversy is engaging so much of the public attention, and when Sabbath Conventions and Sabbath Unions are being chronicled almost monthly, I consider it unnecessary to offer any apology for the introduction of the following work to the public notice. My reader need not fear a repetition or recapitulation of ..

Damned -  The Intimate Story of a Girl

Damned - The Intimate Story of a Girl

by E. S. Dorrance

The most imperfect day known for ages in the Court of Gehenna was drawing to a close. The seven Tartarean courtiers had effaced themselves as far back in the auditorium as the folds of its black and red electric hangings would permit. Each held eyes and ears intent, realizing far too well that his particular tenure of preferment hung upon the mood ..

Impressions and experiences

Impressions and experiences

by William Dean Howells

My earliest memories, or those which I can make sure are not the sort of early hearsay that we mistake for remembrance later in life, concern a country newspaper, or, rather, a country printing-office.

by W. R. Lethaby

The Cosmic Junkman

The Cosmic Junkman

by Rog Phillips

The black eyes glanced down. The long-fingered hand began to retrieve the cards, then paused. Vilbis' almost classic features darkened with anger. With an effort he became calm. A secret inner amusement made little lights in his eyes as he looked up at his two captors again."You know," Bill Ford said thoughtfully, "sometimes I think you must have s..

At the North of Bearcamp Water

At the North of Bearcamp Water

by Frank Bolles

During nearly the whole of the forenoon of July 3, 1892, a soft rain had been falling. It had begun in the night to the discomfiture of the whippoorwills, but not to the extinguishment of their voices. It continued until nearly noon, when the wind shifted from east to west, patches of blue sky appeared, and ever and anon gleams of sunlight fell upo..
