Respectable sins

This book professes to be a volume of essays on religion addressed to young men. It is much more than that: it is a final and intimate revelation of the sources of nobleness and strength of one of the wisest practical Christians of our day and generation. Some of the subjects are "Evil Temper," "False Tongue," "Jealousy," "Egotism," "Bigotry," "Discontent," "Why a Young Man Is Not a Christian," etc. Ian Maclaren, the novelist, represented but one side and many think the smaller side of John Watson. Of late he has been coming more and more into his own as a preacher of unusual power and originality. This present volume is strikingly attractive and thoroughly modern.
