The recently elected Presiding Bishop of the Protestant Eplsgopal Church, the Rt. Rev. John Gardner Murray has taken a firm stand against 99 11-100 percent Americanism. In an article in the October issue of the American Church Monthly, Bishop Murray writes. "Good is in the ascendant, and the comparative ratio of increase (of population) is decidedly in its favor. We are living in the best age of human history." Is it by accident that the leaders of our public life are such defiant optimists. Or is it one more indication of why we are so popular in Europe?
