But We Must Prepare for a
Bad Time
flay THE VERY REV, W. R. INGE, D.D.
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.

'Talks on Old Car
liIr. 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.
That . is the blameleee story of her
life' in attendance on me. Ia it good
enough—from her point of view?
"She' hag to go far -and, sometitties,

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.
