Excerpt from How Did They Get There?, Or the Non-Conforming Ministers of 1662: A Question for Those Who Would Celebrate the Bi-Centenary of St. Bartholomew's Day, 1662 Churchmen should acquaint themselves with the history of the Church. Half a dozen lectures on the subject, in every parish in England, would effect great good on the minds of many. Dissenters are reported to have raised at least to commemorate this bi-centenary. If this be all, or even if the amount be double this sum, if regarded as an aggregate result of a general effort, I think it must be considered as a failure, since individual instances of liberality for Church purposes have, in many cases, nearly equalled this.
