ABSTRACT

The gentleness and hope for the world and patience that built the cathedrals, shall be in his heart day and night. The moment it is waked we will have a new world. It is because Tom Mann and D. A. Thomas are not leaders of men who have this spirit that they are about to be dropped as typical leaders of Labour and Capital in modern times. In the meantime, there is a kind of self-will that seems to me, as its shadow comes across my path, like God Himself walking on the earth. At the last moment in the coal strike, when the Government had done its best, and when the labour leaders still proposed to hold up England and defy the Government until they got their way, Stephen Walsh, one of the leaders of the miners, stood up in the face of a million miners and said he would not go on with the others against the Government.
