Journeys of a Soul (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Journeys of a Soul

Journeys OF A soul was written to show that nothing, however great or small, can reach the per fect state without sacrifice. Beit man, beast, bird, plant, the nations of the world, the world itself, or the whole universe, the same law applies. I harbor no claim to new theories; they are as old as the hills. I simply have hoped to convey to you, dear reader, in my own homely style, and through the medium of historical periods, that whatever shall be the spirit of the times, is only a phase of the build ing-up and tearing-down methods of the natural forces; and on completing these journeys I offer the following conclusions: Blessed be all the evils of the universe, for they shall lead us to all the good therein; And the pain and sorrows of war, for they shall bring peace on earth and good will to men; And the darkness of yesterday, for out of it came the light of to - day; And the destruction of all our hopes and ambitions, for it shall bring us greater reward.

I ask your patience, dear read-er, in following me on these journeys, and permit me to say that I am willing to see the treatment of my subject lost sight of in comparison with its meaning.
