74 Making of the Complete Citizen

England. It transmits a boundless store of conservative
tradition, in which approximately half the nation has re-
ceived its impression as it has moved within it from the days
of childhood, and as a dominant social influence it has
created an
ethos distinctive of itself. It is very easy in Eng-
land to distinguish the Anglican type of citizen from the

mental religious beliefs; in respect of these large sections
of both types are not far apart : but the individuals move in
different circles of society in which different outlooks on life

similar results prevail. Baptists, Episcopalians, Meth-

thought and conduct. There is no universal ethical opinion
pervading all the ranks and classes of the churches. They
