Title Stop in Time: A word in season, from a faithful friend, on a very serious subject
Credits Transcribed from the 1866 T. Edmondson edition by David Price
Summary "Stop in Time: A word in season, from a faithful friend, on a very serious…" is a moralistic tract written in the mid-19th century. The text serves as a letter from an aunt, Margaret Rothwaite, to her niece Patty, discussing the serious topic of female modesty and the perils of inappropriate relationships. The author aims to impart wisdom and guidance to young women, cautioning them against the emotional and moral consequences of engaging in premarital relations. The letter highlights the contrasting societal expectations and consequences for men and women regarding sexual purity. Aunt Margaret stresses the importance of maintaining modesty and the protective role that women should adopt in guiding their interactions with men. She warns against the deceptive nature of casual relationships, emphasizing that true love should be grounded in honor and respect. The letter serves as both a personal counsel and a broader appeal to mothers and women, urging them to uphold moral standards in their families and communities to combat the rising tide of immorality. Ultimately, it presents a call to action for women to be the guardians of their dignity and to encourage virtuous behavior in others. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
