The Seven Deadly Sins - James Stalker

This 1901 pamphlet is a handy guide to all who need instruction in the worst of the worst sins, those seven "deadly" misdeeds designed by Satan himself to trip us up. Discover: • Pride, "the primary sin" • Avarice, which "has played a conspicuous and evil part in history" • Luxury, "what we should rather call sensuality or licentiousness" • Envy, "the cause of some of the greatest crimes" • Appetite, or "gluttony" and "drunkenness" • Anger, excepting "holy indignation" • Sloth, or "aversion to religious exercises" Whether taken as caution or instruction, this classic instructive work is sure to enlighten the curious reader. Scottish evangelical preacher JAMES M. STALKER (1848-1927) also wrote *The Life of Jesus Christ* (1885) and *The Life of St. Paul* (1888), among many other works.
