CAUSES OF UNREST.
TOO MUCH SELF-ASSERTION. OPINIONS OF A BISHOP. LONDON. Oct. 7. "Is God alive? Must He be reckoned with?" asked the Bishop of Winchester, Dr. Woods, at the Church Congress. The old idea of dependence on God, the bishop said, had disappeared, and had been replaced by men s self-assertion, which was the root vice of the present aae. It was seen in the Communists' effort, based on hate, violently to secure the. tyranny of one class, but those who declared that Communists should be shot were almost as great a menace. Other forms of self assert km included society's flaunting of luxury, jewellery and wealth, and also the suggestion in society journals that, men's only interest was sport, and women's only interest w® dress, thus producing a sense of injustice and widening the gulf between the rich and poor, which was one ot the greatest causes of unrest.
