And although these ran off and pretended to be an end-all to themselves and completely divorced from all spiritual existence, they nevertheless furnished the modus operandi by which we could analyze these teachings and understand them better. And out of this analysis and understanding we actually achieved a great deal.

We have brought at last this material into the category of practical. The oldest material man had — hope, the spirit — has come to a culmination of being intensely practical.
