Excerpt from New Political Economy: The Social Teaching of Thomas Carlyle, John Ruskin and Henry George, With Observations on Joseph Mazzini British Empire. These were six people in the colony of Victoria, who, in filling up their census papers, had candidly described their religion as g, s. D. The Pall Mall Gazette remarked that this was the religion of the vast majority of the British people everywhere. It was speaking, of course, of what Mr. Ruskin describes as the real, active, continual, national worship that by which men act while they live; not that which they talk of when they die - the practical religion about which we are all at heart unanimous, but which, excepting the honest six of Victoria, we none of us avow, not the nominal religion about which we dispute so much.
