CAIN AND ABEL 105 



my last chapter I showed how Imagination was most probably 

 the earliest development of mind, after which soul began to 

 dawn in the mind of mankind, with the result that he started 

 to improve his surroundings and so started on the road of 

 civilisation and then began gardening and agriculture. 



This evolved the necessity for studying how to best 

 cultivate the soil, so the reader will notice how the Age of 

 Cain led up to Study, which will subsequently, on the Tenth 

 Day of Evolution, form the corresponding marriage to Reli- 

 gion in Table III., as Adam does to that of Civilisation in the 

 Stick Age, and Cain and Abel do to the dawn of Understand- 

 ing and Government on the Eleventh Day. Thus at this stage 

 of Evolution we find the Mongolian Race evolving civilisation 

 and agriculture and a very primitive form of religion and the 

 seeds of science out of superstition and necromancy in the 

 more tropical climates of the world, while at the same time the 

 Aryan and Northern Races, by their hard fight against the 

 Glacial Period are directing superstition along a harder and 

 slower road that is to evolve a more perfect form of religious 

 ideal and a more energetic form of Government and the germs 

 of commerce that are to subsequently replace the more ma- 

 terialistic one of the East and South. In just the same way 

 to-day we have the materialistic "Kultur" of Germany 

 waging war for the establishment of a military form of 

 Government capable of keeping in check the more human but 

 impractical unionism and democracy and folly of party govern- 

 ment which will be ultimately supplanted by the higher ideals 

 of the Allies when war has performed its duty in evolution 

 and given birth to a lasting peace. 



Each must do its duty as time and competition pro- 

 duce advancement, and the intermingling of the two Races 

 produce co-operation in the future. It is more than probable 

 that the materialistic doctrines of Germany are bound to gain 

 a short ascendancy before the higher ideals of the Aryan Race, 

 which are being upheld by the Allied Armies of to-day, have 

 sufficiently evolved their higher ideals of philosophy to a suffi- 

 ciently high degree for them to be practicable, or the masses 

 have sufficiently evolved the qualities of energy and unselfish- 

 ness to be able to receive the higher ideals of perseverance, 

 mercy and justice which the Allied Armies are trying to 

 enforce. Nevertheless, this war will do much to teach man-
