Two years ago, in the preface to another essay, the present writer ventured to affirm that ‚Civilisation moves rather towards a chaos than towards a cosmos.‘ But he could not foretell that the descensus Averni would be so alarmingly rapid. When we find Science, which has done so much and promised so much for the happiness of mankind, devoting so large a proportion of its resources to the destruction of human life, we are prone to ask despairingly – Is this the end? If not; how are we to discover and assure for stricken Humanity the vision and the possession of a Better Land?
