Excerpt from The Life of the Soul
I have given this book the title it bears because it describes, as accurately as any other, the main idea and contents of it. The topics discussed are varied, but they are all gates into the same field. They come back, like radii from a circumference, towards one centre. The object sought in them all has been, starting from these different standpoints, to pene trate the mystery of the soul of its life, its faculties, its possibilities, its relation to God, man and the universe. I offer no reasoned philosophy of the theme far less a theology. The most I can hope for is that my readers may find here some material for both; material for suggestion if nothing more. I have written under the conviction that there is nothing that is happening in the crowded field of modern life but finds its explanation in our spiritual condition; that no one of our pressing problems, whether of labour unrest, of religious difficulty, of social reorganisation, but must seek its solution in the recesses of the soul.
