“SEX RUN MAD.”
Bishop’s Attack on Literary Trend. LONDON, April 2. In the course of a lecture to young men, the Bishop of London, Dr Winnington Ingram, declaimed against the “ sex run mad ” tendency in modern literature. Some immoral highbrows, he said, taught that one must indulge the sex instinct, which, they said, it was right to gratify whenever desired. The only sin in married life was jealousy, they contended. They argued, too, that nobody need mind what wives and husbands did, and that children could be placed in a State nursery. All this insulted British intelligence. If the propagators of such doctrines practised them in pagan Africa they would be killed, because the natives recognised the family as the basis of life. No children were more miserable, he added, than those of divorced parents. Children in England were the ones who suffered most from these accursed teachings.
