The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.

Victor Valiant

Alan's set me off now. When I used to go to my nana's as a boy there would always be copies of The Victor and The Valiant around - waiting for my uncle (old enough to know better) to pick up. Tupper of the track, Captain Hurricane, Billy Bunter, etc. The Victor also had true stories from the war.
For more see here and here. As often said before t'internet is the place for nostalgia.
