DOLES AND AUTOS
SOCIETY BEING CORRUPTED, A BISHOP’S DIAGNOSIS. London, October 28. The Bishop of Durham, in an address at London, sharply criticised the effects of the growing popularity of the motor car as calculated to dissipate civic loyalty and strike the church with impotence. The motor was no longer the badge of wealth in England. As in Sweden and America, the shop assistant and clerk soon became the possessor of a thing which yesterday was an unobtainable object of desire. The result must be very bad, as society had outgrown every form of patriarchal authority. The churches were threatened with impotence because the leaders of social life were becoming absentees. Doles and payments from rates which maintained multitudes of young men in idleness were morally degrading.—A. & N.Z.
