Need we wonder that Cedric Bollin said our social life was 'a horror' "What a comment it is on Church and State 'the blessings of the English civilization' ... 'moral England' ... 'philanthropic England', ... 'England', 'England the great head-quarters of the world' ... 'England whose press has printed more Bibles than would, placed end to end, belt the world"! We might with him earnestly desire "one bold determined national attempt to deal with such matter as that before us." S. G. O.
