The article presents information on the book, "Ceremony of Innocence," by Elizabeth Charlotte Webster. To read "Ceremony of Innocence" only for its charms of story and style is to miss its full implications. The epigraph to the book is from the book "The Second Coming." A South African, Webster sets her novel in a South African city called Geldersburg, a raw, tense modern metropolis grown up in the very midst of the veld. On the outskirts rises a quiet Anglican convent devoted to the rescue of fallen women.
