antagonistic to this movement, is merely an ex-
pression for the goal to which it tends. It is the
principle of true progress in evolution become con-
scious and operating with full sense of its own
meaning and aim in the higher organization of
life. There is no abysmal conflict between ethics
and evolution. The flower of the evolutionary
process is the ethical spirit. The rational har-
mony contemplated here means neither more nor
less than the more perfect adjustment and co-or-
dination of the permanent forces that make for
betterment in the movement in the world, and
which, slowly gathering vitality as civilization ad-
vances, now mainly require a fuller and more ade-
quate expression to secure to them the ultimate
control of the movement of social life.
