Shallow

It is encouraging to see learned men concerned with spiritual and fundamental issues, but Canon Raven did not suggest any remedies. The tasks that confront us are concerned with issues far more fundamental than he sees them.

He is content to say that the White Australia policy is "never moral" and if that is his view then he believes that there is truth. Truth is the basic element and its seeking is the basic and necessary task.

Is there or is there not truth ? Can we know it and does it demand anything? Until that issue is fairly faced the tasks that confront us will remain quite easily seen and impossible of solution. It is almost a platitude to state those problems for they have been obvious for a long time now.
