The Future

The immediate future of our race, the writer thinks, is indescribably hope
ful. There are at the present moment impending over us three revolutions,
the least of which would dwarf the ordinary historic upheaval called by that
name into absolute insignificance. They are: (1) The material, economic
and social revolution which will depend upon and result from the establish
ment of aerial navigation. (2) The economic and social revolution which
will abolish individual ownership and rid the earth at once of two immense
evils—riches and poverty. And (3) The psychical revolution of which
there is here question.
Either of the first two would (and will) radically change the conditions
of, and greatly uplift, human life ; but the third will do more for humanity
than both of the former, were their importance multiplied by hundreds or
even thousands.
