Excerpt from Fénelon: The Mystic
It is not claimed that F énelon was wholly With out faults, or was in all respects ahead of his times. How could that be expected? He took, in the main, of course, the Roman Catholic view in the questions that arose regarding heresy and the general affairs of the Church. It is not necessary to defend him for this. We are concerned, in studying such per sons, not so much with their dogmatic opinions and beliefs, the result of their environment, as with the Spirit of their lives, their attainments in holi ness, and the light which they can shed on the best means of growth in grace. It is believed that the present volume will be found helpful to this end. The type of piety exemplified by F énelon, Fletcher, Faber, and others of this sort, does not appeal with equal force'to all, owing to difference of mental and physical constitution. But all, whatever their tem perament, can get only good by contemplating such an example as is presented in these pages. They can not feel the quick throbs of his deeply loving heart, and note the sincerity of purpose with which he served his dear Redeemer, without being stimu lated in their zeal, and helped to walk, in their own way, more worthily of the vocation with which they themselves are called. That this may indeed be the outcome for every reader of the following chapters, is the earnest prayer of the author.
