The Roman Church becomes, in our own day, more and more the citadel of reaction, and the C. of E., with State support leans further to that policy known as "high church." Remarks Rev. W. H. Mellish, in a New York paper in 1947: "Monopoly capital . . . recognises in an authoritarian church an ally against the impending threat of more economic democracy." There is a parallel betwen today and 300 years ago. Remember James I saying, "No bishop, no king?"

Our friends also deny that any historian suggests that the revolution got England nowhere. But in fact, many suggest just that—in a general effort to pooh-hooh the role of radical change in history. Says the late Bishop Masterman, for instance, "Milton not only witnessed all these widespread and radical changes, but lived to see the new order of things itself reversed." This, is of course, quite inaccurate. The social, and most of the political gains of tho Rebellion, were never reversed.
