NEW STANDARDS
YOUTH DISSATISFIED
MORALS ASSAILED
LONDON, 13th May,
Dean Inge, addressing the Diocesan Conference, said that the whole foundation of our moral conduct was being unpreccdentedly assailed.
Tho younger generation, / dissatisfied with their elders, wcro taking tho law into their own hands and shaping their
own standards,
Dean Ingo said he did not altogether blame them, and added: "Current popular fiction is not only dirty, but mean."
He favoured a strict interpretation of Christ's moral laws regarding marriage, which he said is revoltingly depicted in popular novels and revoltingly practised by tho idle rich.
"If the people do not wish to take life-long vows," Dean Inge added, "tho State must reorganise Church marriages (which are indissoluble) and marriages outside the vows of the Church."
