Summary: "New Lights on Old Paths" by Charles Foster is a collection of moral tales and fables written in the late 19th century. The work aims to revisit and apply timeless morals to contemporary life, suggesting that the author believes in the importance of applying old truths rather than seeking new ones. Each story is accompanied by illustrations, driving home key lessons intended for personal reflection and growth. The opening of the book introduces a fable about an innkeeper who must choose which type of guests he will welcome into his establishment. On one side, he has the honest farm people who are good for his business but avoid drinking, while on the other are the trouble-making men from the nearby forest who are rowdy and may cause him more trouble than profit. The innkeeper wrestles with his choice, ultimately deciding to favor the farm people for their virtuous behavior and consistent patronage. This tale sets the stage for the overarching themes in the collection: the importance of morals in decision-making and the challenges of maintaining integrity in the face of temptation.
