Williams deal with a subject in which the average man does take an interest, for they ate concerned with the problems of the Fall and Original Sin.

The average Englishman takes an interest in those subjects, but his interest is apt to be either of a rather morbid or (more com- monly) of a rather contemptuous, kiud. He may feel constrained to accept what he understands to be the belief of the Church on the subject, and consider himself bound to believe that the whole human race was in some mysterious way responsible for the sin of Adam and icherits a guilt which can only be removed in some equally mysterious manner, and for this attitude he will find abundant justification in some of the Articles of the Church and in some of the phrases of the Baptismal Service.

More probably he will tend to regard the whole matter as having been exploded by the discoveries of science. The story of the Fall in Genesis he knows to be unhistorical, and, believing that to be the foun- dation of the whole doctrine of Original Bia, he dismisses it as one of the religious absurdities from which he is glad to be freed.
