[Painted Windows by Harold Begbie]@TWC D-Link bookPainted Windows CHAPTER IX 9/16
We are all wrong together.
Organised religion, he feels, is hanging over the abyss of destruction, while the nation looks on with an indifference which should complete its self-contempt. His quarrel, however, is not only with the churches, but with the nation as well.
He regards the system under which we live as thoroughly unchristian.
It is the system of mammon--a system of frank, brutal, and insolent materialism.
Why do we put up with it? His religious sense is so outraged by this system of economic individualism that he bursts out with irritable impatience against those who speak of infusing into it a more Christian spirit.
