Britain’s Passive Resistance Movement
We observe a tendency in some of the secular papers in this country to make light of the “passive resistance” movement in Great Britain, as tho it were a bit of fanaticism, a mere tilt against a windmill. These cynical critics are either ignorant of the real issue at stake, or so indifferent to high moral principle that they are unable to appreciate the attitude of the noble men and women who are fighting a new battle of religious freedom in old England. These passive resistants are not fanatics or fools, but sober-minded, loyal-hearted Englishmen, who love liberty and mean to obtain it. All honor to them for their self-denying allegiance to principle.—Examiner.
