And no doubt in a half-way that is true. But when discontent is associated with material stand- ards alone, and purchasable comfort, and worldly op- portunity, or, to put the matter in its most favorable light, when success and the goal of achievement are measured by the pleasures, however you may refine them, and by the pride of a few brief years of physical existence, beyond which there is nothing, and when for failure in these no compensation is held out, no supernatural hope, no refuge of p...eace, here and now, such as the world cannot give — when the driving force of progress is so presented, what is there in the nature of things to offer in the long run any effective resistance to the innate desire of power after power that ends only with death? What equal counterpoise will you Religion and Social Discontent 103 set against that instinct of pleonexia which reaches out for ever more and more ?
Philosophy is full of mockeries. These honorable gentlemen who are teaching a pure naturalism in the schoolroom, who denounce the content of religion and other-worldly philosophy as a base acquiescence, who in the restlessness of an itching egotism go out as mission- aries to the people of the far Orient, may deceive them- selves and may try to deceive us; their language may be sleek with the sentiment of brotherly love, but strip off its disguise, and the social theory they are proclaim- ing will leer forth in its true face as an incentive not to progress but to the anarchy of the jungle.
