Questions of social construction, of justice and morality, arise in many quarters, find many terms of solution, and pass with corresponding rapidity to their fullest answer. This division of life is on a grand scale, like the special senses, special organs and special powers which gather together and sustain each other in the human body. It is a fact which discloses the progress already made, and hastens it onward.

(5) This growth, like all growth, takes in both elements, fixed physical conditions and predominant plastic powers --- the natural and the supernatural. The plastic powers, the constructive ideas, have found expression and application chiefly through the individual. There is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Those who have been truly efficient in guiding and shaping growth have been those who, in one way or another, have had a large measure of spiritual life; who have felt the unity of truth, and so have worked under that unity. Every great spirit remains a term not covered by simply physical inheritance, but one gathered into the higher lineage of the divine life. Just at these points the electric circuits of truth are turned, even for the ordinary eye, into electric light.
