Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Modern Deity
My friend, Mr. Malcolm, has struck a theme that cries for treatment. Modern Baalism is no more moral or modest or merciful than its ancient prototype of the days of Ahab and Jeze bel. It needs now, as it needed then, rough handling. And the writer whose pages follow, has turned loose upon it a vehement and torren 'tial earnestness of denunciation. The stream of his ideas and the rush of his convictions are so strong and swift that they cannot purl along in the ditched out channel of conventional, phrase. They over?ow the banks. They cut their own channel. At times, they toss aside the elegance, and even the acquracy, of style to rush right on to the author's objective. Yet the work is not devoid of style. In places it is truly eloquent; and it is enriched by choice and copious quota tions. In temper, it is strongly and sanely opti mistic. Discrediting the dread evils that fret our times, it rises to positiveness in pointing the path way of relief in a return to righteousness and soberness and truth.
