RUSKIN says, with his old pungency, in one of his new essays, in words that have a wider application than to England alone: “You women of England are all now shrieking with one voice—you and your clergymen together—because you hear of the Bible’s being attacked. If you choose to obey your Bibles, you will never care who attacks them. It is just because you never fulfill a single downright precept of the Book that you are so careful of its credit. The Bible tells you to dress plainly, and you are mad for finery; the Bible tells you to have pity on the poor, and you crush them under your carriage wheels; the Bible tells you to do judgment and justice, and you do not care to know so much as what the Bible word justice means.”
