When I was young ... there never was any question about right and wrong. We knew our catechism, and that was enough; we learned ou...r creed and our duty. Every respectable Church person had the same opinions. But, now if you speak out of the Prayer-book itself, you are liable to be contradicted.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
