"It seems to me that there is a great deal of vigor, vim and virility in American life, which expresses itself in devotion to a competitive free economy. The same spirit. I have a suspicion, displays itself, at least in the externals, in the religious sphere, which to an Englishman seems rather odd at times. On the lighter side, for example.
