Excerpt from Peace Happiness
All of us in London think it very kind of our old friend, the Bishop of Chester, to write us another book for Lent. For the benefit of our many American readers I must explain that he is the same man who was Bishop of Stepney seven years ago, and who then wrote for us The Day of Battle - a book which, I believe, exceeded all our Lenten books in the wideness of its circulation.
The Bishop has naturally chosen a very different subject three years after the Armistice, and has tried to bring home to us in his own telling and characteristic way what the familiar words "Peace and Happiness, Truth and Justice, Religion and Piety" really mean.
I shall not attempt to anticipate what will be found in the book on these subjects except to say that the familiar prayer will have a deeper meaning for all who have read this book carefully.
I would only point out that the future of the world depends upon these words becoming a reality not only in our own individual lives but in the lives of nations.
Probably before this book reaches America, it will be seen what will be the probable outcome of the great Conference at Washington.
