English Fashionable Society Irrel1gious,
1t is no uncommon thing to hear
from the pulpit or elsewhere lament
over the lowered faith and morals of
the upper classes; and, without indulg-
ing in any sensational exaggeration,
we are driven by the evidence of facts
to conclude that such lamentation is
justified, says the London Church
Times. There is the increase OF con-
jugal infidelity in fashionable society
and the callous Indifference with
which it is viewed. There is the COM
plete secularization of Sunday with it's
selfish indifference, to the rights of
those who are thereby deprived Of
their day of rest. There is shame
less contempt for the ordinances of the
church. Quite lately we CHANGED to
notice in the World an account of a
fashionable luncheon party, at which
a member of the royal family and 9TH
er leaders Of society," were present.
The occasion selected for this enter
tainment was Good Friday. All these
things, together with the fippant and
irreverent tone which has come to be
the distinguishing mark Of, the smart
set" are, Of course, only the outward
signs of the internal whitening away
of religion. They have become, I'M
fortunately, matters Of notoriety. The
tone Of fashionable society is becom-
ing INCREASINGLY irreligious, and the
church lis directly concerned to
eyangelize the classes" no less than
the MASSES" y Is. ~, ~
