Excerpt from The London Daily Press What are we entitled to say Of its attitude towards faith and morals? Taking the widest possible survey it is surely competent to hold that in the main the press Offers a general support both to the Christian faith and to the moral teaching of Christianity. There are some Obvious exceptions in regard to doctrine, and some still more obvious exceptions in the matter Of morals. There are journals which seem to preserve an attitude Of benevolent neutrality in the matter Of faith whilst still accepting at least the conventional standard of morality. There are journals which pose as in dependent Observers and critics both Of faith and of the men who profess it praising both one and the other upon occasion, but allowing us to discern a sub-acid avour even in their praises. Yet in the main we have something better than this. Christianity is at least assumed. It is t, as in some of the reviews, a mere ball to be kicked from side to side for the entertainment Of the onlookers. Christianity is accepted just as implicitly as the Solar System. But it is urged that there is much unreality in all this. Journalists, we have been told, are largely unbelievers, or at the best indifferent to matters of faith; their recognition Of Christianity is purely conventional and can be Of little use. Current gossip as to journalists does t seem to collect its evidence in the higher walks Of the profession. There, at all events, experience would suggest that the percentage Of men who have discarded all allegiance to Christianity is at least higher than amongst those who practise in medicine or law. Nor is it fair to assume that the tacit acceptance Of Christianity by a journal is valueless. The general reader kws thing Of the person alities behind his paper. He kws its opinions only; and these Opinions he is for the most part content to assume as sincere. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
