We have here, then, evidence of the tremendous fact that in spite of what is said about materialism England is still deeply religious. In the debate on the Prayer Book Measure political landmarks were ignored. The result must be regard. ed as in the nature of a national verdict. The Church of England is revealed as a national Church, a State organisation, a State ra ligion. We have always known this, of course, for it has been implied in the title By law established. But the establishment was very ancient, dating back to Tudor times, and the last revision of the Prayer Book was done nearly three hundred years ago.
