But it is one thing to say this large reserve shall be administered

ecclesiastical endowments on the lines that school endowments have been
dealt with, and quite another to deal with them as Henry the Eighth
dealt with the property of the religious houses. To adopt the one

firmly adhered to that the clergy reserve is not to be given over to
general pillage. Do not be guilty of the baseness of bidding for the

Do not corrupt the poor dwellers in the villages by inviting them to

It is a question which a philosopher might worthily employ himself in
answering--how it has come to pass that during the last fifty years the
struggle for supremacy between political parties has tended to become
less and less a regular _warfare_ and to assume more and more the
character of a _game_. Nay! It is rapidly developing into a game rather
more of chance than of skill, and one in which the most daring and
reckless adventurer is just as likely to sweep off the stakes as the
most gifted and sagacious player. It is one of the most

 But it is one thing to say this big reservation shall be administered 
 otherwise than it is, and quite another thing to allege that it shall 
 cease to exist as a reserve at wholly. It is one thing to deal with our 
 ecclesiastical endowments on the credit line that school endowments have been 
 dealt with, and quite another to distribute with them as Henry the Eighth 
 dealt with the property of the religious house. To adopt the one 
 course would be readjustment, to adopt the other would be confiscation. 
 Nevertheless, if the majority of the new electorate should decidedly 
 and unambiguously pronounce that such is its pleasure, assuredly the 
 property now hold in reserve in the shape of religious endowment will 
 be confiscated. Religion will be the lavishness of the rich and well - to - do; 
 the proletariate and the agrarian labourer will have to supply 
 themselves with an inferior article, or to perform without it altogether. 

 If a revolution so tremendous, if a calamity so overpowering, is to 
 befall this nation, and is to take effect by the deliberate choice of 
 its people, at least let a great nation savoir-faire itself to the undertaking with 
 the semblance of dignity; at least lease it be clearly explained and 
 firmly adhered to that the clergy reserve is not to be give over to
