q London. December Democracy Is

ously worshiped among U.s."
This utterance of Or. inge, dean OF
ST. Pauls, before an audience of wo-
men at Sion College, has started a
widespread controversy In the pulpit
and press OF England. The statement
was made during the first of n series
of lectures on The Co-Opera ton Of
the Church With the Spirit of tho
Age"
DR.. lnge. after referring to the great
achievements of the nineteenth century,
said that that great epoch was now
over. and civilization was sitting PEN
sively in the midst OF her nccumula
lions like the figure of Melanchoiia.
The speaker declared that the era Of
scientific discoveries was happily not
closed, but In all other fields signs
of exhaustion were very apparent.

the speaker, "the tottering Of the grent
Industrial fabric OF tho nineteenth
century dominated all other issues. A
population of 4s.OO0.o00 had been
massed on two small Islands while
Englishmen were making England tho
workshop OF the world"
He then explained that the natural
advantages which had made Great Brit
ain master OF the commercial world
had either passed or were passing. and
that America had now become the nat
ural centre OF commerce.
