RELIGION AND SCIENCE
LORD HUGH CECIL’S REFLECTIONS EXTRACTS FROM HEW BOOK Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, January 24. (Received January 25, at 1.15 p.rn.) Striking passages in Lord Hugh Cecil’s new book, ‘ Auglo-Catholicism ’ state; “ The really formidable opponent of Catholicism is not Protestantism, but Anglicanism, or, if an ugly but expressive word may bo coined. ‘ Eng--lishness.’ There seems to hang about people’s minds an impression that because the nineteenth and twentieth centurie.4* were extraordinarily prolific in the knowledge of natural science and skill in mechanical devices, therefore Grid’s revelation of the truth must be modified and improved upon : that because wo can fly aeroplanes the Nativity of Chriht can hardly be believed, and because we can listen to wireless telephony moral objections to contraception are no' longer valid. We might as well speak of the conflict between geography and music as between religion and science.”
