?John Inglesant? ? (J.H. Shorthouse).
I finished Sybil and think it certainly is a fine book for our syllabus purposes.'

'11th January, Tuesday.
?John Inglesant? ? (J. H. Shorthouse).
I notice a report of a speech by Dr. Norwood in this morning?s Liverpool Post. I am amazed to note how he seems to take war in China for granted, as merely inevitable and spends his time appealing to the Powers ?not to gather in a spirit of spoliation?, after the conflict! Already! And this, from a leading Pacifist, and League of Nations speaker. How can it be thought surprising, that the ordinary people, spending too much time earning their bread and butter to allow of deep thought, should succumb easily to waves of jingoism, when the prophet and leaders themselves, the most steady of the press, the most earnest of clerics are already braying compromise, within ten years of the World War.'

'13th January, Thursday.
?John Inglesant? ( J.H.Shorthouse).
I am re-reading this, not only because it is one of the most wonderful books I have come across, but because the wonderful earnestness of it, and the vision of life it gives me, inspire me in my own small concerns. I wonder if I myself, am doing a measurable good in my activities?'
