Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from My Struggle for Light, Vol. 3: Confessions of a Preacher
I asked myself: Why is it that these um believers do that which is good Is it because, if one judges rightly, good conduct is of all conduct the most profitable? For he that walks uprightly is most successful; he is spared the miserable consequences Of vice; he gains for himself an honourable name he forges his own good hap.
But I found that this answer did not suffice. I perceived loftier motives. I witnessed ex amples Of a self-denial that excluded all idea of material advantage. The conviction was forced upon me that a real love of goodness inspired such noble deeds. I found here a strong impulse to satisfy conscience, a lively sense of duty, pure unselfish loving kindness. Was I to shut my eyes to these facts because they were inconsistent with a preconceived Opinion? I did not do so, but enquired into them that I might not err concerning the truth.
