SOWING THE STORM 21 



are no immutable moral principles valid through 

 the ages." He must consequently admit that 

 there are "many sets of moral values," and de- 

 fines the moral law as simply: "The will of the 

 group." This he holds to be "the reigning type 

 of moral theory today." s If the will of a group 

 is Bolshevist, then Bolshevism is its true morality. 

 If free love and murder are the will of a group, 

 then this is the true morality. 



While the dogma of materialistic evolution 

 naturally leads men to these conclusions, strict 

 consistency must go still further, as we have 

 shown, and demand the rejection of all claims to 

 morality of whatever kind. The new creed, 

 cunningly invented to displace Christianity, admits 

 of nothing but matter and force. It can acknowl- 

 edge in man no activities that are not the necessary 

 result of purely physical and chemical forces, as 

 little connected with any concept of morality as 

 are the laws of gravitation. Hence the end of 

 all liberty of action, of all responsibility and of all 

 morality in human conduct. Elaborate explana- 

 tions, couched in bewildering phraseology, are but 

 dust in our eyes. The people cannot be so easily 

 deluded. Admitting the false dogma of material- 

 istic evolution, there is but one verdict to be passed 

 upon the sensualist and criminal, upon Spartacide 

 and anarchist, and that is: "Not Guilty."
