OBJECTS OF REVERENCE
In', a recent speech Viscpunt. Halifax, ex-Miilister 'of Education, in Britain said: —I 1 want' to see us recognising more and more What I tall for want of a better, phrase, the quality of reverence in its. widest sense; The quality of- reverence can niean more to us 1 in our relationship of man with man, man to himself, and man to t-lio world, than a great many other'things'of which we often think more. .If a man really_has reverence for the things that.have given England liberty, justice and law, things that many other European nations have not got, fie will have reverence also for the people 'who want to maintain these tilings for England and will take great care that England shall never lose them. If we can have .something of the spirit of reverence., for other people we shall reverence their point of view, we shall be geperous and tolerant. And if we can have reverence for beauty in all its forms, .character, music, art and Nature, it will reflect itself in'every .part- of. life.
