oley By the Right Rev. Arthur F. Winnington-Ingram, D.D. Lord Bishop of London THUI London Gardner, Darton & Co., Ltd. 2 & Paternoster Buildings, E.C. R Preface EADERS of the following pages must remember two or three points about the sermons and addresses which they contain. They were all delivered, except the last sermon, without reference to any notes; if, therefore, the sentences appear at times involved or confused, it is not the fault of the excellent shorthand reporter, but of the preacher. Secondly, they were delivered in a series of churches in the course of the Mission in North London during Lent, 1906, and therefore the points made in previous sermons had to be summarised when the next church was reached, to enable the hearers to follow the course of the message of the Mission. This involves a certain amount of repetition. Thirdly, they must perforce appear comparatively cold and dead when out of connection with those vast and silent congregations which followed the Mission from the beginning to the end, and especially when disconnected from that united and earnest intercession in the strength of which the whole effort was carried on from first to last. I think that most of us will remember as the most touching part of the Mission the Litany of the HOLY GHOST, sung kneeling, and followed by prayer for all those in sickness, sadness, perplexity, or sin. |
