F W Boreham’s editorials sometimes appeared humanistic, with their reflections on the possibilities and achievements of the human spirit in the quest for endeavor, exploration and the enjoyment of “the occult magic of human imagination.”[1] The attainment of such ideals often seemed to be for Boreham a matter of ongoing learning, reading and other forms of self-improvement.
It was only in his later editorials that he explicitly stated the Christian vision of “life in all its fullness” and the offer of divine power that enabled good character to emerge and fine ethics to be expressed.[2]
