Dean. of St. Paul's, You,:.will not expect an old -fashion-. od, Whig -one of the last of the breed=to take a•.choerful view of our Prospects during the next years.. I apt not at all a, pessimist about the far future; but I think that we in England must be prepared for a bad time, till we have adjusted: oureelves •to changed conditions. I doubt if our politics,'have ever been so rotten as they are. now. Thele is no sign of constructive statesman . ship anywhere, but only a squalid ate- tion in which the wordly goods Of the _,minority aie>uffeted as bribes by ad venturers who risk nothing of their .own. • A few years ago "advanced" politicians talked much about "na- tiouaheation"; but I never thought that there was mutt steam behind this cry. Now this idea hal- been virtually abandoned in favor of direct and wholesale plunder by taxation. This degration.of politics, which, is the disease of wbic'h democracies die, has come upon us- at a bad time. The war shook, our economic structure to ' its base, anh hastened on a ' move- ment whish began to show itself about 1900. Science and Religion: This change was the loss of the privileged position which we had en- joyed through the whole of the nine- teenth century. Henceforth we shall have to compote with our rivals -on equal terms, or not dveu on equal. terms, since we are already far more heavily taxed than any other noun- tr'y. Unluckily the Englishman, to what- ever hatever class Ile belongs, cannot dis- abuse himself of the notion that be has an inherent right to a larger in- come and shorter hours of work than the Continental European. Tills puts us' at a great disadvantage. Our "survival value" as a nation le. not what it was. We .have neither the hard logical grasp of essential facts wht -- distinguishes the French- man, nor the dogged industry of the :German, nor- the tierce determination to "make good" of the, American. Souse think that dysgenic selection, .accentuated by the losses of the 'Great War, has made up a less ro- bust and energetic people than we used to be. The result is a temporary but very severe congestion of population, the remedy for which, in my opinion, is not the dole, which' only turns the • unemployed into the unemployable, but State -aided colonization on. a Iarge scale, The voluntary limita- tion of birth will cure the congestion, I think, in thirty years or so, It we can keep the Irish out; but I do not want to see fewer Englielrmea:in the word. In other ways the outlook is much pleasanter. Applied science will re- duce the amount. of mere drudgery. Public health will Improve. The next ten years niay see the conquest of cancer. Broadcasting and other inventions have, or may have, a great educational value. The country dwel- ler need no loltger live in an intellec- tual backwater. Science is popular- ized, and the masses are discovering how intensely interesting it is. I cannot prophesy about religion. A nation has the religion that it de- serves, and I thinly our people are sound at heart. Personally I think and hope that we are feeling our way • to, a Christianity which will be neith- er Catholic nor Protestant, but a new type which can :ally itself with what is best in our hopes and aspirations for the welfare of humanity.

John Priole'au,'the well-knowni writer on motoring, has a charming article in tee "Evening Standard"I London, on, the pleasure to be got, from are old car and the delights of rennin -In a new one. "I have no -new car this year, nor, so far- as I can see, shall I have a new one iiext.Y.ear or the year after. New friends are not to be compared with old ones, and it seems to me that the friend I found in November, 1927,, is 'going' to be:my' friend for ;lite. "I may be too optimistic. Site gets all the oil she wants, of the hest kind, regardless' of expense; she gets decarbonized at the .proper times; she gets wearied 'when slie is lucky.

"She' hag to go far -and, sometitties, fast; and oonaideratious of- weather do not affect my plans. No quarter Is shown. If I must be 300 miles away by dinner time, and I cannot (more likely, will not) start before breakfast, it is up to her to deal with gales and floods and other horrors. "Her job is to get us there in time, to deliver ins in reasonably good shape, and not aching with every one of those 300 miles. She has done this faithfully for two years and is doing it twice as enthuslastically now. Wily should I buy a new car She is a new car, and better than USW every . time we go out, For every time she has some new nice trick to show me. "I crave your forgiveness. It is abominable to rave aver one's own children as any mother will tell you, and worse to rave over.. one's own car. I am only moved to this out- burst because I' have lately driven no fewer than four brand-new cars be- longing to other people, and in the act have listened to many bitter things said about all new cars and the wickedness of their makers. No- thing interests me so much as a good new car, but, after my experiences of the past months, nothing attracts me so much as my own old one. "Of course, I should like to have the running -in of a new car. It Is the greatest fun imaginable. Those four friends of mine are at present bitterly stating their several inten tions of never buying another car again, but they will get over all that. "Just so soon as that first .sweet- ness of running makes itself felt, when the engine becomes supple‘in- stead of harsh, when every .mile makes a difference, when all the lit- tle melees of newness are absorbed into one contended purr of comfort, when the soul of the car breaks through attd there is something alive, sensitive, sympathetic under the bon• net instead of 'Engine No. 0298641, Onassis No. 374629,' or words to that effect, their disappointment will turn into joy and pride, and, for quite oth- er reasons, they will say again that they will never buy another car. They will, if they are as lucky as ane, have found a life-long friend." CONTEM PT There is not in human nature a more odious diepositibn than a prone- ness to contempt, which is a mixture of pride and ill -nature. Nor is there any which more, certainly denotes a bad mind, for in a good and benign temper there can be no room for this sensation. That which'constittttes an object of contempt to the malevolent becomes the object of other passions to a worthy and good-natured man; for la such a person, wickedness and vice must raise hatred and abhor- euce, and, weakness and folly must be sure to excite compassion; so that he wit find no object of his contempt in al the actions of hien.—Fielding.

Itis household gods are of flesh and blood, with no ,alloy of silver, gold, or precious stones; he has aro property but in the affections of hie own heart, and when they endear bare floors and walls, 'despite of toil and ,scanty meals, that man has his love of; home from God, and hie rude cut becomes a solemn place.—Dicl- ens, DI SCIPLiNE Everyone may learn how to be mas- terful and authoritative.
