Efficiency In The Spiritual Life 1921 PDF Download

Excerpt from Efficiency in the Spiritual Life It seems to me a daring task to presume to treat on such sublime subjects as are contained in this book, but should only one soul find in these lines a little light or derive the same benefit I feel it has been to me to write it, I will be highly recompensed for the slight labor expended in its accomplishment. Since all who read the first manuscript pronounced the work unique, I presume it will be of interest to the reader to learn where the ideas originated. There came into my hands a course in efficiency by Harrington Emerson of New York. As I followed the different steps in the lessons, I was struck by the seriousness and ingenuity with which the students are instructed to pursue the desirable things of life. What pains they take! And our Blessed Lord has said, "The children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light." Following the different principles I saw at once the similitude between them and the spiritual life. The ideas are not new, but they appeared to me under a new aspect.
