Then an extraordinary thing happened. In an excited moment I was guilty of what I should think now an intemperate expression of speech and said to my rather complacent-looking audience: `Lay down your New Testament and read the Clarion.' The Clarion was then the chief organ of Socialism in this country and though afterwards Robert Blatchford, its editor, became an opponent of Christianity,atthe time when I made this rather foolish request there was no sign of what afterwards happened. The sentence I have quoted gained a great publicity.with the implication that a Christian minister had repudiated the New Testament and taken to the Clarion. It may seem a strange result, but my quite impromptu indiscretion was followed next Sunday by a crowd of people which packed the hall to overflowing and which continued till the hall was burnt down several years later.'
