But a morality and ethical code, derived from religion and

spirituality, has the whole of infinite man for its scope. It takes

up the individual, but its relations are to the Infinite, and it

takes up society also - because society is nothing but numbers of

these individuals grouped together; and as it applies to the

individual and his eternal relations, it must necessarily apply to

the whole of society, in whatever condition it may be at any given

time. Thus we see that there is always the necessity of spiritual

religion for mankind. Man cannot always think of matter, however

pleasurable it may be.
