Excerpt:

The study of the material world is not Materialism,
if it be allowed to progress to its legitimate issue.
Materialism is that limited view of the universe
which will not admit the existence of anything but
mechanical effects of mechanical causes, and a
system which recognises no higher power than the
physical forces of nature must logically result
in having no higher ultimate appeal than to physical
force or to fraud as its alternative. I speak, of
course, of the tendency of the system, not of the
morality of individuals, who are often very far in
advance of the systems they profess. But as we would
avoid the propagation of a mode of thought whose
effects history shows only too plainly, whether in
the Italy of the Borgias, or the France of the First
Revolution, or the Commune of the Franco-Prussian
War, we should set ourselves to study that inner
and spiritual aspect of things which is the basis
of a system whose logical results are truth and l
ove instead of perfidy and violence.

Some of us.
