"God has divided Man into men, that they might help each other." --Seneca. 30. This is the place where I should especially wish for talents of persuasion, for now we have entered into the region of high morality, and also here the Established Order opposes our best efforts and is unceasingly active in leading us astray. This fact must not be slurred over; at the same time it should be borne in mind that the obstacles are merely superficial, due to man's inertia, thoughtlessness, and ignorance, while the noiseless undercurrent of the Universal Order, Universal Reason, is carrying us irresistibly onward. The agent which the Universal Reason here employs as the social bond is a far mightier one than that considered in the previous chapter. There it was conscience which restrains "self "; here it is the affections which expand "self." Conscience does not point to heights of aspiration, but takes cognisance only of what falls below a certain line; the affections stimulate. Affection: that wonderful guest within the human bosom, the outcome of physical passion--that, surely, is the happiest feat of Evolution ! Its first advent, like the first appearance of every pleasurable fact of consciousness, is involved in mystery. It came, we know not whence or why. "It appeared," as has been said, "on the theatre of man's consciousness; he found it pleasant, and was thus encouraged to develope it further." It indeed is a most remarkable and noteworthy fact, which we later shall have to dwell upon, that our loftiest aspirations have the meanest beginnings, and have started from the lowest motives. Buckle has insisted that there can be no evolution in morality, since moral truths are always the same. "Do good to others, love thy neighbour...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Destiny: The Influence of Socialism on Morals and Religion; An Essay in Ethics That Nationalism (by which I simply mean American Socialism) will be the future economic system in all civilised countries, and that it will be inaugurated, not by violence, but by enthusiasm. That it will establish virtually the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, mainly by rendering all humanity precious to each of us - what now to all sensible people must seem an impossible feat. That it will evolve an irresistible belief in God and Immortality which will satisfy all the instincts of the human heart as well as the most developed intelligences. That is to say I hold that, though it is perhaps a fact that a majority of those who are called Socialists are avowed Atheists, yet Atheism is not an integral part of Socialism, but merely an accretion upon it, like tartar upon the enamel of the teeth. Such are Atheists, not because they are Socialists, but because they are Frenchmen and Germans. Socialism is eminently religious. Very little has hitherto been done to persuade the higher order of minds or to place Socialism in its proper light before them. To speak frankly, I can perfectly sympathise with Sir James Stephen, who, in the future, generally foreshadowed by the motto of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, cannot see a st to of society which a reasonable man ought to regard with enthusiasm and self-devo tion.1 I can very well understand that a society confined even to the most fascinating and abundant material enjoyments, but in which morality is simply an invention to abate social jars and fric tions, is not seductive to such minds.
