Excerpt from Hours of Work and Play
The question of what is a National Church, and what is its true position, is one which forces itself on attention at this moment from a variety of sides - theological, political, scientific. We prepose in the following pages to examine it from yet another aspect - the Moral. Great as at all times must be the importance of this side, it claims at present an interest even higher than usual, seeing that the transition which is affecting all our ideas and conditions of life is very visibly and very dangerously affecting our morals also. Who are to be our guides during the next quarter of a century.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the pressing moral crisis facing the nation and who society should hold responsible. The author argues that the clergy have neglected their most crucial duty: the moral instruction of their congregations. In the absence of this guidance, the nation has become infected by a wave of dishonesty and vice. The issue is compounded by the rise of secular education, which has provided the power of knowledge, but no instruction on how to use it. In emphasizing the importance of teaching practical morality alongside religious dogma, this book provides new insights into the role of education in shaping public conduct and the immense responsibility of moral instruction. The consequences of neglecting morality have never been so dangerous, with the proliferation of deceptive commercial practices and a decline in traditional values. This book issues a stark warning on the state of the nation's moral health and implores the clergy to reassume their role as guides in the complex realm of ethics.
