132 THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



mind is such a much stronger factor than that of bodily 

 reproduction, that when all the world is properly brought 

 under civilised rule, and war is abolished, racial differences 

 adjusted by international arbitration, the limits of national 

 rule and control more wisely defined, and commerce made 

 universal so that the greatest number can live and be main- 

 tained upon the earth in the manner best suited to the climate 

 and agricultural conditions of the world, the study of govern- 

 ments will no longer be racial distinctions, but natural adapta- 

 bility, local fitness and utility, and one of the branches of 

 national or scientific duty will be to evolve such local and 

 scientific qualifications as will best produce the most useful 

 population in the climates best suited to their utility. 



This will not come about in our lifetime, but I am con- 

 vinced that in the Hypothesis I am now placing before man- 

 kind, lies the fingerpost that points along the road of Evolu- 

 tion as the scientific road that must be clearly studied from 

 the standpoint of this Hypothesis of God's Trinity, if we are 

 to help our children to learn the true and most perfect forms 

 of control and future legislation so as to bring about a perfect 

 state of law, order and government that will thus enable 

 all to live in perfect peace, comfort and content, which is the 

 only means of our obtaining the joy, pleasure and happiness 

 that will convert the earth into heaven, and which must be 

 brought about by means of a better understanding of the influ- 

 ences of hereditary aptitude and a clearer realisation that the 

 distribution of wealth is the reward God bestows, not upon the 

 work of one lifetime, but upon the combined efforts of many 

 generations.
