SECULARISM IN THE DOMINIONS
RESPONSIBILITY OF ENGLISH DIOCESES. London, November 28. If avid, arrogant secularism is too often the temper of Colonial society; if the passion for money-making and the appetite for frivolous self-indul-gence is even more blatant in the new English communities than in the old, could the English dioceses, which are shaping the immigrants, disown a measure of responsibility for that melancholy and portentous fact? asked the Bishop of Durham, when preaching at Durham Cathedral. He added that the coal stoppage, doubtless, would necessitate an organised effort overseas for the migration of multitudes of people who were permanently unemployed. It would be a grave reflection if the crude, naked regularisation to which clergymen are accustomed as being deplorable and unavoidable in their own parishes, should be the foundation of popular life in the Dominions. Migrants might be mentally and physicalIv excellent, but their moral and spiritual equipment must occasion profound anxiety.
