RELIGION AND SCIENCE
LORD CECIL'S NEW BOOK
(Eeceived January 25, 2 p.m.)
LONDON, January 24. Striking passages in. Lord Hugh Cecil's new book on Anglo-Catholicism today state that the really formidable opponent of Catholicism' is not Pro : testantism but Anglicanism, or, if an ugly but expressive word may be coined,' Englishness. "There seems to hang about tho people's minds the impression that because the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have been extraordinarily prolific in knowledge of natural science and skill in mechanical
devices, therefore God's revelation of truth must be. modified and improved upon; that bjQcause people can fly aeroplanes, the Nativity of Christ can hardly be believed; and because they can listen to wireless telephony, the moral objections to contraception were no longer valid. One might as well speak of the conflict between geography and music as between religion and science."
