Excerpt from Sermons Preached at Uppingham School, Vol. 1 School sermons have a certain value of their own as belonging to a current of life; just as a streamlet flowing in a valley has more of human interest than a shower of rain. There is a touch of auld lang syne about them, a freshness of young hearts and boyhood, which never quite leaves them. If, more over, they have had any creative power, and have entered into the lives, and they and the Chapel have been a kind of home, in, and round, which the thoughts of the young have clustered, then, quite apart from anything else, they embody a cause, and may be loved as a sort of special property; so that in after years the man may send a brightness into them from his own soul, because his boyish recollections are bright. This is my apology, if apology is needed, for pouring forth this little rivulet of Uppingham life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
