IN a recent little book entitled "The World," Canon Newbolt says: "There are not wanting indications that the heart of England is being aroused at the spectacle of the decay of law and order, of decency and reverence, which is so painful a sign of the times. It is for good people to realize and fall back on the old principles of religion and virtue, which may yet save England from decay and secure society from the imminent peril which awaits those who forget God." Canon Newbolt is the chancellor of St. Paul's Cathedral. He recognizes that the decay of law and order has reached the point that they are a "spectacle" in his country. Leading men everywhere are recognizing the fact, as Ex-President Eliot expressed it a few years ago, that the "defenses of society are broken down." Our greatest danger lies in not recognizing this and seeing its significance. These times are ominous, and the divine Word itself foretells what lies just beyond.
