Saul Solomon's Voluntary bill would only finally be passed under the Molteno government in 1875. Bleek supports Saul Solomon's intention but disagrees with his method in the case of the Voluntary bill. For Bleek, the anachronism of mortmain and the perpetual income it generates is indistinguishable from annual grants and must be targeted with equal force. Until then, he recommends retaining the current "mixed arrangements". Bleek views here align with his campaign against the "ecclesiastical despotism" of the High Church. Bleek submits that rich churches fallen to corruption transmit narrow ideas across generations.
