Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Life and Light From Above

The test of all literature is its power to uplift and comfort human life. Truth is sacred only when it serves the needs of men. Inspiration comes through the opened gates of love. When the soul lifts up its gates, even lifts up its everlasting doors, that the King of Glory may come in, it is filled with a morning splendor which pales the bursting glory of the day.

Who is this King of Glory It is the spirit of Love, mighty in battling with the sorrows of the world. He who would serve the world through literature must be filled with the glory of this spirit of Love. That Glory must shine in every sentence, making it luminous with the light of Love.

How shall this spirit of Love be invited into the soul? By consecration. Let the house of the soul be cleansed of every taint of selfishness and worldliness, and the spirit of Love Will enter in and abide there. Every per sonal aim shuts the door to this spirit. Consecration, pure and lofty, to the welfare of mankind, invites it. Forgetfulness of self invites it. What are hunger, cold, privation, suffering? What are the detractions and en vies of men? Nothing, nothing, to the consecrated soul. Secure in the protection of God, the soul trembles not at any threat of the world. Pain and death lose their sting, and the grave its victory, when the soul is fixed on Truth and Love, and consecrated to human service.
