FOREWORD
Every being lives in his own mental world; his joys and sorrows are the creations of his own mind, and are dependent upon the mind for their existence. In the midst of the world, darkened with many sins and many sorrows, in which the majority live, there abides another world, lighted up with shining virtues and unpolluted joy, in which the perfect ones live. This world can be found and entered, and the way to it is by self-control and moral excellence. It is the world of the perfect life, and rightly belongs to man, who is not complete until crowned with perfection. The perfect life is not the far-away, impossible thing that men who are in darkness imagine it to be; it ​is supremely possible, and very near and real. Man remains a craving, weeping, sinning, repenting creature just so long as he wills to do so by clinging to those weak conditions; but when he wills to shake off his dark dreams and to rise, he rises and achieves.

Byways of Blessedness.
By JAMES ALLEN.
Artistically bound in cloth and gold. 207 pages. Price 3s. 6d. net.
By post, 3s. 9d. American price, $1.00 post free.
CONTENTS.
The book expounds those right states of mind and wise modes of action which, when adopted under trying circumstances, bring about results fruitful of blessedness. The principles put forth are applicable to the common circumstances of daily life, in which all are frequently involved, and upon the wrong or right use of which all our misery or happiness depends; and those who put these principles into practice will very rapidly prove for themselves that circumstances are subordinate to the human will, and as the potter moulds the unsightly clay into shapes of beauty, so the spiritual potter (he who has acquired the right state of mind) brings out of “adverse conditions” results that are precious, beautiful, and blessed.

“The present volume, like much that Mr. Allen has written, contains a great deal of wisdom, tersely and beautifully expressed. . . .
