Hysteria, Fear

The Bishop of Chelmsford, Dr. Henry Wilson, is this month starting his tenth year as bisliop. Dr. Wilson has gained a re- putation as being one of our most outspoken Churchnten. In this interview he gives his views on life and religion to-day:—

One of the impressions that strike me forcibly is the prevalent unhappiness and fear in the minds of men to-day

fear of life, death, war, unemployment, sickness.

I think the present time will go down to history as the age of fear. I attribute it very largely to the absence of a real practical faith.

They never relate the Christian teaching to their life and outlook. They do not give it any serious thought.

THE AFTER LIFE

Probably they assent to the general truths of religions, but there is little more than this.

We have a generation of people who have no buoyant faith to keep them up when confronted by diffi culty and no faith in an after life to console them in bereavement, A generation or two back there' was a sort of dogged courage which seems to be rare to-day. I do not mean that our forefathers were all convinced, Christian people: religion In those days was very largely con- ventional. Even

so, they did belleve that the inoral cardinal points were fixed; and they did believe in an after life

Now conventional religion has dis- appeared, and that is the explanation why, numerically, there are fewer people going to church.
