was seared, as with burning steel, — “ our fathers worshipped 
stocks and stones/' but our brethren worship flints and bones ! 
10. About that time, 1668, Dr. Cudworth published his prin- 
cipal work — ■“ The true Intellectual System of the Universe," 
as a philosophical refutation of the atheistical tenets then, as 
now, widely prevalent all over England ; then, as now, too, 
science of the exclusive and bigoted physical sort, was to effect 
the complete “ restoration " of mankind — morally and per- 
manently — there being no existence except the fleeting 
present ; natural knowledge was almost universally held to be 
the All in All — the “ one thing needful," for Mind and Body 
from dust to dust was man's only pilgrimage in 1670 — his 
nature and constitution “ identical " with those of animals, in 
origin, progress, and destiny— and from Protoplasm to Pro- 
toplasm is the highest and best march of science in 1870, the 
spiritual nobility of Manhood is gone, in substance and in 
structure, in organ or in function ; he is one with the brute — 
their common parents — Spontaneous Generation and Natural 
Selection : in other words, “ Her Wound is incurable, for it is 
come unto Judah." Flint and Bone teaching has resulted in 
the pretended discovery of a body “ without a soul" — spiritual 
being has no locus standi in the modern science of Man, past, 
piesent, or future \ heroism requited with misery, religiosity 
without heart or hope, vice adorned with coronets, the nobility 
of virtue in chains, want, disease, violence, bloodshed, meet 
us everywhere ; the arm of science, withal, impotent and 
helpless to succour or to save — our creed — rationalism, the ape 
for an ancestor, man greater than his Maker, an earth without 
a Heaven, and a world without a God. Vanity of vanities is 
this science of sciences ; the aim of Anthropology was, and is, 
the exclusive aggrandisement of flesh and blood— its sure end 
is the grave, and its true epitaph, Ichabod, for where is the 
glory if it be not in shame? Such scientific investigations are 
one-sided, and ex-parte men search for the ego when its habi- 
tation is desolate ; meanwhile, the ego, having escaped, they 
deny its existence ! “ What man is there of you, whom, if his 
son ask bread, will he give him a stone ?" Anthropology in 
ondon, Paris, Vienna, and Madrid, has disdained to draw 
upon any department of true spiritual knowledge, which could 
throw more light on the subjects which it investigates. 
Although Jews, Greeks, Germans, Indians, were never wholly 
destitute of spiritual culture. Science deals in the swinish 
liusks of physical phenomena alone, on which the soul of Man 
must starve and perish, for we shall never fly by feeding on 
in c s, neither will worms ever speak by feeding onus — no 
possible amount of human brains will enable the grass on our
