Excerpt from The True Path: And How to Walk Therein To make the vision clearer, and the way plainer for all who are seeking the true path, is the purpose of this volume. The editor has sought through means of poem, allegory, sermon, essay, and lighter narrative, to lead the earnest thinker into a just appreciation of social and moral duties - for no man can walk safely through this world, who, through neglect of these, lives in cold indifference to his neighbour's good. The true path is the path of self-denial; yet none enter this path who do not, sooner or later, find that the way is smoother than was expected, and that instead of leading through a desert land, it winds pleasantly amid flowers and greenness.
