''l was struck," lie said, "with the amount of space that the press gives to the religious and moral side of issues in American politics. To one coming from a country like New Zealand, where the press—if 1 may venture to say it—is ultra-secular, the practice and custom of the American press is very remarkable.

In the Chicago Inlerocean, for instance, there were every Monday about eight columns of reports of the pulpits of the day before." The samewas true of other leading papers.

Although the methods of the American press did not appeal to him, he was undoubtedly struck by the high tone of their leading articles and the broad yet intense ethical outlook that pervaded all that lie saw of their leaden.
