Nunc Dimittis

Nunc Dimittis

Well, we know now, The great Oxford Union has said so. The Victoria College Debuting Society has substantiated the matter. We must "return to religion" If we wish to solve our present discontents.

Forty-four students of V.U.C. (including most of the S.C.M.) have said so; forty have denied it; and about eleven hundred have refrained from voting. By the democratic principles which govern debates, however, the decision of the forty-four becomes an eternal truth. The great philosophers, sociologists, and scientists have not worked in vain, for a solution has at last been reached—the only solution. We must return to religion.
