As an ADDED BONUS!!!, we are including an original 1913 edition of "THE TITANIC TRAGEDY: GOD SPEAKING TO THE NATIONS" by Mrs. Alma White. YOU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK!!! Much has been written about the Titanic and the events of April, 1912. The sinking was rightly called, "the end of an era." It was an event which prompted an outpouring of sentiment, religious musing, and a painful re-evaluation of the social climate in early twentieth-century America. This book provides a detailed graphic account of the sinking of the great ship, carrying down to watery graves more than 1,600 people!  It is illustrated with MANY ILLUSTRATIONS & PHOTOGRAPHS!!! throughout.  Following the sinking, as officials in both the United States and Britain scrambled for an explanation of the disaster, myths about the Titanic arose. How could this have happened? This book explains the author's opinion that the disaster was a judgment from God, to punish men who have defied Him and allowed money, fleshly desires and pride to dominate their lives.  White, born Alma Bridwell (1862-1946) was a prominent evangelist whose Pillar of Fire Church and ministry was a major source of anti-Roman Catholic sentiment throughout the early twentieth century in America. Concerns about Vatican encroachments into the American political system --- real, imagined, exaggerated --- had long stimulated antipapist groups such as the Know-Nothing movement or the American Party. By the late 1800's, just one anti-Catholic organization, the American Protective Association, had swelled to over one million members. Most literature from these groups alternated between dark warnings over papal plots to manipulate Congress and lurid tales of debauchery involving priests and nuns.  For White, the Titanic symbolized many of the omens other religious seers had divined: a chastisement of humanity for its technological arrogance, a warning that the Victorian age, with its wealth and splendid opulence, embodied in Titanic, was losing its spiritual moorings and floating into a dangerous sea of lust and material indulgence. "The Titanic Tragedy" also included White's message of anti-Catholicism, such as her description of President Taft (whose friend, Major Archie Butt, perished in the sinking), "a Unitarian (who) made his administration obnoxious by courting the favor of Roman Catholics, for no other purpose, it seems, than to gain their political support."  Belief in God and a divine plan, the arrogance (or virtues) of technology and the scientific enterprise, the stressed but tightly-knit class and gender structures of Victorian society --- all of this was debated endlessly in the wake of the sinking of the Titanic. Published in 1913, this book is in GOOD CONDITION! for its age and especially to be 95 YEARS OLD!!! This is a rarely offered book written about the great disaster so...GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!!!
