The future of the Church in England trembles in the balance. Much depends on what the living generation may do to mould the future. The mistake of thinking that England would rapidly return to the Faith - this delusion which prevailed in the middle of the now declining century-is not wholly destroyed; until it is so, there is little hope of real progress.

Such a mistake was a source of great and far-reaching calamity. In the place of building small but numerous mission-houses, men founded churches - nay, cathedrals. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of pounds were expended on the execution of the designs of clever architects. The building of the walls of Jerusalem was overlooked in the erection of churches made with hands.
