About this book

Jokes, verse and personal memories carry George W Bain's arguments about how people should treat one another. His eight printed lectures consider character, public duty, home life, young men and experiences on the platform. In his introduction, he explains that sincerity and reaching an audience mattered more to him than polished grammar. The collection preserves that direct approach, moving between anecdotes, practical examples and appeals for better conduct.

The opening lecture challenges prejudice through Bain's account of his capture during the Civil War and his later friendship with the officer involved. He argues that upbringing and circumstances help shape opposing convictions. A later passage uses biblical teaching and a humorous exchange about neighbouring farms to encourage support for foreign missions.
