Butitmightevenbethat, fromawideandprofound scientficknowledge,theBishopcouldseethattheprocesshaddriftedtoolongand toofarforeffectiveremedial action,andfeltreluctantly compelledtourgedrasticand repugnantmeasures.Inthat eventualityhewouldsurely choosemeasures,however painful,whichwouldattain theirpurpose

Itgrievesmetoreport, however,thattheBishophas nooutstandingscientific qualificationswhatever,and thattherepressivemeasures heoutlineshavescarcelyany bearingontheproblemshe poses.Theyamounttothe mostpalpablequackery.Of theirethicalnaturewedon't feelimpelledtosayanything, becauseitisimpossibleto arguewithapersonwhobelievesthatmurderandmutilationareacceptableassocial solvents.

AMatterofEmphasis

Nothing,perhaps,sobetraysthemindandintentof BishopBarnesashisinfelicitouschoiceoflanguage.He doesnotproposetodealwith degeneratepeople,butwith degenerate"stock,"meaning menmadeintheimageof God.Andheproposesto dealwiththemexactlyasone dealswithanimals.TheBishop'smethodwith"tainted humanstock"isdirectand simple-hewouldkillthem offpainlessly.Inconsiderationsofthissort,thematter ofemphasisisratherinterestingtoobserve.Themodernpaganstressesthathe willmurderpeoplepainlessly,whiletheChristianmaintainsitismurder.Inthe newtheologyofBishop Barnes,itbecomes,forthe firsttimeinChristianhistory,permissibledirectlyto killtheinnocent.

ASSURE

Evenwereeuthanasiaa morallylegitimatemeansof meetingtheproblem,it wouldfailofitspurpose.For, despitethepretensionsof eugenistsitisnotpossibleto forecastthequalityofprogeny.Momentarily,thelethal chamberwouldbringabouta hugedropinthenumberof the"tainted,"butevenas thiswasbeingdonehundreds ofchildren,bornofnormal parents,wouldbefoundto bebelowpar.Againstthis eventualityneitherbirthcontrolnorabortionoffers theslightestrelief. ReligionofaScientific Civilisation.

Thetwomajorquestions, however,whichtheeugenists willnotface,are:Whatconstitutes"ataint,"andwhois todecidetheissue?Bishop Barneswouldappeartohave hisideasonthesematters clearlyformulateduptoa point.For,heassuresus, "onlythemostreactionary" condemnbirth-controlto-day asimmoral.Now,areactionaryisonewhowilfully opposesprogress,andin newGoldenAgeaboutto opentherewillberoomonly forprogressives.Theywill all,presuinably,benamed Barnes,Wells,orRussell.In thatcasethegaschambers wouldsimplyyawnforthe bodiesofreactionaryCatholics.

TobefairtotheBishop, onenotesthathehasqualifiedhisviewsonsterilisation. Hehasatlastdiscovered whatreputablescientists haveknownforagoodmany years,thatitwouldheonly "partiallyeffective."However,letuspresson,saysthe Bishop,withgreatgood cheer.Halfaloafisbetter thannobread.Likewise,in theconsiderationofsuicide andabortion,BishopBarnes soundsacautionarynote. Butitisnotacautionintendedtodeter.Forsuchmattersoflifeanddeatharenot subjecttothemoraljudgmentofChristianity,butto "thefundamentalreligious

principlesofourdeveloping scientificcivilisation."The newspaperreportsdeniedus thetantalisingtenetsofthis newreligion,butquite enoughwasgivenofthe viewsofBishopBarnesto enableustoconcludethatit involvesdiametricaldenial oftheChristianfaith.

"UnfortunateAccident"

Inallthattissueofgrave humanandtheologicalproblems,BishopBarnesalludedonlyoncetotheteachings ofChrist,andthatreference wasfatuous.TheBishophasfoundnothinginChrist's teaching"tocauseustowelcomeanunrestrictedpopula-

tionincrease,whenitsdirect

outcomeisavastgrowthof humanmisery."Whathe couldhavefoundwas Christ'sreaffirmationofthe TenCommandments,includingtheFifth-"Thoushalt notkill."

Moreover,one cannotviewthehumanitarianconcernwithanysincerity,sincethemeasuresproposedtopreventmisery wouldsubstitutehorrorsa thousand-foldmorepoignant. Wedonotbelievethatthe viewsofmensuchasBishop BarnesandDeanHewlitt Johnsonarecharacteristicof theAnglicanbodyasa whole.TheRedDeanhas beendisownedbytheArchbishopofCanterburyand othereminentecclesiastics. LikewiseBishopBarneshas beenundercensure.The AnglicanArchbishopof Perth,Dr.Moline,spoke feelinglyof"theunfortunate accidentbywhichDr.Barnes isaBishop."Forallthat, theAnglicansmustfeelthat thereissomethingwrong withareligioussystemwhich cannoteffectivelysuppress suchabdminablelicenceina manwhoholdsanofficial teachingofficeintheChurch.

TheseAre"Tainted Stock"

TheattitudeoftheministerofTrinityCongregational Churchwasfarfromadmirable.If,ashecontends,the heresyofto-daybecomesthe acceptedthingofto-morrow, thenwemightaswellabdicatereasonaswellasreligion.Thereisadefiniteline ofdemarcationbetweenright andwrong,andifaminister ofreligionisunableto-findit, hehasnorighttocontinue thepretenceofbeingapastor ofsouls.Ifbirth-control hasbecomegenerallyaccepted,thatdoesn'tmakeitthe leastbitmorepalatablemorally.Itisthesamesinfor whichOnanwaspunishedby Godlongcenturiesago.
