EVOLUTION THE MASTER-KEY 



that their abuse is directed against Wordsworth's 

 "Ode to Duty." 



"There are who ask not if thine eye 

 Be on them . . . 



Glad hearts! without reproach or blot; 

 Who do thy work, and know it not." 



The evolutionist is an optimist because his study 

 of sociology and ethics has led him to regard as 

 more than possible the realization though only 

 after many centuries of the ideal of the triumph 

 of righteousness, which Wordsworth saw just one 

 century ago: 



"Serene will be our days and bright, 



And happy will our nature be, 

 When love is an unerring light, 

 And joy its own security."
