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.
