He Restoreth My Soul (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from He Restoreth My Soul<br><br>In writing the present volume my object is to discuss in some of its aspects the journey of a soul, with its trio of duties or offices, introducing them to the reader in the order in which they naturally occur or evolve in the development of an individual life.<br><br>It is an obvious fact that self-preservation is the first or initiatory duty or office of the young soul and is the only office or duty of early childhood. It is also the first and simplest office or duty throughout its earth-life and its gravest responsibility in all subsequent stages of progression.<br><br>The second part of the trifold office must naturally be, as a logical consequence, its attitude towards other such individualities by whom it is surrounded and with whom it comes in contact. If there be no systematic, reasonable discipline administered and enforced, then there is chaos and conflict, with the "survival of the fittest" as an issue. Therefore this soul must be taught to strive so to temper its desires and requirements that it may in no way injure its fellow-travellers.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
