Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Christianity and Labour
No inquirers into the life of the labourer, no matter how sympathetic and well-informed they may be, can ever know what it is as those can who have actually lived it. Unless they are to the manner born they are almost certain to lack the true sense of proportion, or to fail in their perspective. Yet in all my experience of Church historians or Church courts I have hardly ever met any one, either cleric or lay, who wrote or spoke as having been a labourer himself. In all the ages it has been the unique glory of the Church that the highest places were within reach of the working man's son if he had the Divine right to rule.
