ABSTRACT
God, for the majority who still believed in Him, wore as many hats as Robert; the Potter, the Gardiner, the Clockmaker, the Almighty Chemist among others, but none of them seemed to fit after evolution. He had to withdraw, taking the security of His ever-watchful care with Him. He left a chilly space for the literate to inhabit, but for the majority there were signs of other securities, more immediate and relevant; better drains, cleaner water, less adulterated food, vaccination and chloroform and antiseptics. All these were making life safer for many people, always excepting the very poor, ignorant and helpless. Robert and William had been important agents in bringing about most of the reforms.
