THIS "MARCH OF EVENTS"
"The march of events is no antomatic process; it is determined by the action of the human heing$ who take part in it, and they, alas, because they are human, are for ever being tempted to |ravel down the wrong road and miss the signposts which should have kept them straight. So, when the. prophets of our own day, concerned for the existence of a stable and civilised society, seem to us to do no more than say again what has been so often said in previous generations, we must not lightly dismiss their message as something which is quite f amiliar. Remembering Whereof we are made and our own fatal tendency to go astray, we are bound to give more earnest heed to what is spoken — to think of our ordered civilisation as we know it, the source from which it eomes, and the things we most prize in it; to ask ourselves whether these things are realh as secure and certain as we think, and, if they are in any jeopardy. to discover whence the danger comes and how it may be met." — Dr. Blagden, Bishop of Peterborough, in a recent sermon.
