By this time... the living through and the acting out of spiritual or ethical principles would have begun to be an intrinsic part of people’s lives, … - Vera Stanley Alder

The story of human evolution has progressed steadily from complete exclusiveness to an ever-broadening inclusiveness.

It is beginning to be realized, not by a few idealists but by numbers of the general public, that in spite of the countless triumphs of science and industry there has been something about humanity’s way of living that is proving to be suicidal. Fear, want, disease and war have been increasing in a steady crescendo until they have nearly engulfed the world altogether. This terrible state of affairs has, in spite of all the amenities of progress, been undermining the health, energy and mind-power of all the public everywhere, until most of them have been dulled into a blind acceptance.

The question of labour being cheaper in one country than in another, and of different standards of living which puzzle economists so much to-day, need not exist at this future period.
