ABSTRACT

Upon the great question of future life, the spiritual Pantheist may remain in peace, greater perchance than can fall to the lot of any other. To him Life is Universal and Eternal; one form after another must fade and change, and pass away, but only to evolve higher development and greater perfection. Such are the claims of Spiritual Pantheism to satisfy the requirements of the intellect; it is obviously a creed from its very nature infinitely expansive, welcoming every new form of truth whether of thought or life, finding indeed in all of them the nourishment required for its growth; and possessing no shibboleths, no landmarks, it makes one only demand of friend or foe, viz., to advance nothing as true which cannot be proved. After the intellect has accepted Spiritual Pantheism as the soundest foundation upon which to build, faith enters and does that for the heart which reason does for the head.
