The Church is at this moment beset with the task of rebutting the charger of other-worldliness. It was a charge which, perhaps, hit our comfortable habits of thought and practice rather hard. And yet there was no possible charge which, apart from the question of unworthy adherents and inadequate spokesmen, Catholic Christianity could repudiate with a more justifiable indignation. Now, this book offers aid to us in this particular need. It stores and arranges the material by help of which our mind and imagination and will can follow the lines which pass up from this life into the eternal kingdom towards which we move. It shows us how much can be done in the way of fixing our embrace within our practical horizon.
