also from the heaven downwards. Spiritual evolution and social evolution are just beginning. There is promise ahead of unlimited development in man's social life. In Roman times the highest ethical ideas existed contemporaneously with a depravity so great and so universal that the fall of Rome was the necessary outcome; but in our time high ideals have a practical effect upon society. Rome subjugated the intellectual Greeks to slavery, but in our time brothers went to war over the slavery of an inferior race. When we consent to think of the aeons of time consumed in physical development, we are not able to think that social development is slow.

The inorganic world in its development has prepared the way for the organic world, and these two together are now leading up into the spiritual world. Man, the highest product of animal life, becomes the first term in spiritual life and, by means of society, grows into thoughts and actions that point to a Kingdom of Heaven.
