From the PREFACE. In former works dealing with the study of development, the standpoint has been that of enquiry; of trying to find out in the light of Science, Philosophy and the Bible, what men can discover about the order that exists in the Universe. The Evolution theory, in the past, received careful consideration, with this result, it was found to be too limited; it shut out from study realms of thought of supreme importance; it was natural and mechanical in its method; thus whilst very useful from the standpoint of Nature, it failed to interpret Man, truly or fully, as spiritual; and the attitude it took toward the Bible, and Spiritual religion, made it quite clear that such a theory, or system of thought, could not be accepted by spiritual thinkers. The steps of onward study that have been followed tend to show that scientific enquiry, and pure scientific results, are not the private possession of the School of evolutionists only, they are Divine gifts of truth to all men; and all men are invited to drink deeply from the fountain of Science because it is being discovered that this water of Truth and Life is the purest that men have found. There ought not to be any conflict whatever about the term "pure Science;" what men mean when they use it is that they have discovered certain definite, true relations and conditions of thought, that are in harmonious agreement. They say that they have found Truth; that Truth has set them free; and that they are no longer the children of experience, or empiric enquirers, who are trying to discover order and law. What this means is that Truth exists as objective fact; that Truth becomes a personal matter of experience in psychical thou, M; that the man who loves Truth is not satisfied with what is sensuous, or what appears to be true; he must go on to consider, analyse, synthesise, generalise, and put in universal order all the facts expressed by things, thoughts and the true relations of thoughts as Science. In this sense, Science means the harmony of thoughts all their relations; the order that is known to exist in the universe and that can be traced by the Intellect. The physical Sciences are examples of what Science means as discovered order; when men discover the order that exists; they say that this is equivalent to law as universally true; and thus law becomes a moral ideal, a standard of thought to which appeal can be made.
