FOREWORD
THERE is nothing new in these lectures, but only
old truths retold. But the truths are of such vivid and perennial interest
that, though old, they are never stale, and, though well known, there is always
something to say which seems to throw on them new light and new charm. For they
touch the deepest recesses of our being, and bring the breath of heaven into
the lower life of earth.
Constantly immersed as are most in the affairs of
daily life, they are apt to lose sight of “the things which belong to their
peace”, and so any call to “lift up their eyes unto the hills” is welcomed by
the earnest and the aspiring. The eternal verities are always restful, as is
the view of snowy peaks to those toiling along the dusty roads of valleys far
below.
May these reminders of the ancient facts of
discipleship and Masterhood nerve some to effort; encourage others to
perseverance. May they help some to realise the possibility of obeying the
command: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
ANNIE BESANT.
