Excerpt from The Paths of Goodness: Some Helpful Thoughts on Spiritual Progress This maxim has been notably verified in the present little series of talks on spiritual themes. When Your Neighbor and You was written, a good many years ago, it was put forth without the notion that this was to be the first of a succession of similar vol umes. Yet as each successive book appeared, Your Soul's Salvation, Your Interests Eternal, The Most Beloved Woman, Children of Mary, The Things Immor tal, and Your Own Heart, every one gave rise to the kind demand for yet another, and this will explain the appearance of this latest book, for which we have chosen the title, The Paths of Goodness.
