Altogether this is a wonderful Book it shows that English politics is wonderful and the National Alliance was wonderful but does anybody know where the Ritz Brothers Are playing his excellent gifts As a novelist his imaginative skill and his Power Over words in order to win us Back to what he Calls religion it is Only fair to examine that religion carefully. And it is Only fair to thank him for being so explicit by Page 215, if not earlier it is Clear that he Means the sort of religion that intelligent churchmen discarded half a Century ago the religion of the supernatural and the afterlife dismissing every thing in this life As superficial and of no account he Means the sort of religion that deserved to be called the opiate of the people the sort that had to be uprooted in Russia before the workers could be Given a Chance to live. Or. Fraser takes no cognizance of the enlightened movement both within and without the roman Church to bring religion Down to Earth again made Manifest in Justice to the workers to have the word made flesh in humane Laws and living conditions.
