EVOLUTION THE MASTER-KEY 



servation of all times, alike teach us that altruism 

 is an inalienable factor in human life, older than 

 all religions and ethical systems, independent of 

 them, and destined to outlive, not, indeed, Truth, 

 which " fails not, but her outward forms that bear 

 the longest date." Or, to turn from Wordsworth 

 to St. Paul: "Charity never faileth: but whether 

 there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there 

 be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be 

 knowledge, it shall vanish away."
