Excerpt from The Ethics of Imperialism: An Enquiry Whether Christian Ethics, and Imperialism Are Antagonistic Does there not appear to be, when we come to look at the matter frankly, a quarrel between some phases of the system of ethics which modern Christian peoples profess to accept as a revelation from the Deity, and the spirit of Imperialism? Christian ethics - by which I mean the modern ethics of Christian peoples - ignores national boundaries and knows no difference of race. Its only recognition of an enemy is an instruction to love him. Its working principle is "the brotherhood of man, " as a necessary corollary to "the fatherhood of God, " and the hated people of Samaria were presented to the elect of Judea as types of their "brothers."
