A Shaker's Answer To The Oft-Repeated Question, What Would Become Of The World If All Should Become Shakers! (1874)

A Shaker's Answer To The Oft-Repeated Question, What Would Become Of The World If All Should Become Shakers! is a book written by Richard W. Pelham and published in 1874. The book is a response to the commonly asked question of what would happen to the world if everyone were to become a Shaker, a member of a religious sect that originated in the 18th century. Pelham provides a detailed account of the beliefs and practices of the Shakers, as well as their history and contributions to society. He argues that if everyone were to become a Shaker, the world would be a more peaceful and harmonious place, as the Shakers believe in living a simple and celibate life, practicing equality and communal living, and striving for spiritual perfection. The book is a fascinating insight into the beliefs and practices of the Shakers, and provides a unique perspective on the potential impact of their way of life on the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
