They need a church and religious teachers and members that have a sense of mission, a reason and purpose for living that is related to all the exciting meanings of human life, instead of being concerned with such irrelevancies as churchism, parochialism, institutionalism, and other modern idols.
Here was a new evidence that we were now beyond the old quarrels a further guarantee that we were prepared to take our place among the states of the Union, free of parochialism and its sectarian enmities. The campaign gave every proof of such political emancipation. The people divided, on national party lines, as completely as any American community in my experience.
Joseph Farquharson, the well-known coal and iron magnate, who had been famous for his "Little England" sentiments a man who had boasted of his parochialism must have learned very much from the invasion and the teaching of the new movement. He gave one hundred thousand pounds to The Citizens after John Crondall's first address in Newcastle.
"I'll tell you what he wants to get right away from here, and fight the world alone," said Denis. "You and I," cried Cairns, "are the men to found a new party with a new Australian policy. Mere parochialism must go, sir, if Australia is to have a destiny. I have my eye upon Desmond as a disciple." "Don't hurry, Cairns. Reform Grey Town first, then turn your mind to Australia.

Of course I never considered making my permanent home anywhere but in England; for all its parochialism and oddities it was the nearest I could come to approximating my own country. I bought a gentleman's park in Hampshire and had the outmoded house torn down. It had been built in Elizabethan times and was cold, drafty and uncomfortable, with not one modern convenience.
Not that I did not like inland scenery: nobody could like it more, but the sea was a corrective to the littleness all round me. With the ships on it sailing to the other end of the earth it seemed to connect me with the great world outside the parochialism of the society in which I lived. Such was the town of C-, and such the company amidst which I found myself.
But if the political history of Germany has all the tedium and monotony of parochialism, on the contrary, the personal history of the Hohenzollern is intensely instructive. One would hesitate to call it romantic.
