The worth the positive school claim for life, is essentially a moral
worth 33

As its most celebrated exponents explicitly tell us 34

This means that life contains some special prize, to which morality
is the only road 34

And the value of life depends on the value of this prize 35

J.S. Mill, G. Eliot, and Professor Huxley admit that this is a
correct way of stating the case 36

But all this language as it stands at present is too vague to be of
any use to us 38

The prize in question is to be won in this life, if anywhere; and
must therefore be more or less describable 39

What then is it? 40

Unless it is describable it cannot be a moral end at all 41

As a consideration of the _raison d'être_ of all moral systems will
show us 42

The value of the prize must be verifiable by positive methods 43
