OUR SENTIMENTAL GARDEN 



cradle and instruct you and to make life beautiful for you. 

 Behold, dear children, the Book of the Laws. These laws 

 which you are bound to keep unless, of course, you go 

 on strike, become a Suffragette, or organize political 

 vote catching. And this is a picture of a Jail for people who 

 are so blind as to refuse Insurance blessings / behold that 

 inspired countenance. That is the head of the Government ! 

 And for Sunday amusements there is the Cinema the 

 Crippen case, dear children/ the Houndsditch Burglary 

 and the Train Smash. . . . And when the new theories 

 have developed and matured, there will be no such thing 

 as private property in anything to constrain the free mind 

 of emancipated man A house of your own, a wife to 

 yourself ! fie ! 



" Surely, surely/' said a young Liberal M.P., " no sanely 

 thinking person would continue to advise religious educa* 

 tion in the schools. What is the inevitable resultsee the 

 case in your own Church " <he was speaking to a Catholic) 

 " the law commands one thing, and the Church another ! 

 Take divorce, for instance. Surely, surely " 

 " Dear me/' said the Catholic. " We had not looked at it 

 in that light. The laws man-made are, then, above the 

 laws God-made 1 " 



''Surely, surely you would not teach little children to 

 disobey a law of the land made for their benefit ? " 

 We ventured to say that the ten commandments had 

 forestalled 



His pitying smile arrested us / so infinitely was he above 

 the ten commandments.
