Beholding the unprecedented mental upheaval that appears to be taking place in human consciousness today, it must be apparent to all thinking people that we are in the midst of a moral chemicalization. The complicated and unhappy conditions that humanity is facing are compelling men and women to turn for help, not merely in word, but in deed, to a power greater than a human sense of self.
