Addressing the Yorkshire Baptist Association at Bradford, the Rev. J. B. Middlebrook suggested that the principle of religious toleration to-day was becoming religious indifference. He said: “Our generation seems to me to have the characteristics of the Mississippi—it is a mile wide and a foot deep. Religious leaders have something to answer for with their cry of ‘Hush, hush!’ to religious controversy, which is equivalent to saying that good manners are infinitely preferable to strong convictions.”
