Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sportsmen Parsons in Peace and War Before the war, while turning over the closely-filled pages of my memory, I came across pigeon-holes containing packets tied up with ribbons of pink, blue, and black; they led me to some photograph-albums and scrapbooks redolent of things and people of yesterday and long ago. There I found a number of what in pre-war days we would have called the "sporting parson," and it occurred to me what a wrong impression many folk had of them. This decided me to write a book dealing with the lives of a few. There are many more I should like to write about, but want of space forbids. I think a certain duty rests upon each successive generation to pass on to the next as faithful a record as possible of the men and women who have left pleasant echoes in the valleys where they have wandered. My critics may say I have met some sublime specimens amongst my parsons, and that I am a hero-worshipper. I think I have met some sublime specimens, and that to be a hero-worshipper is not a thing to be despised, for who can say that it may not lead us to become heroes and heroines ourselves? It has become the fashion to abuse the sporting parson, in consequence of a few having been a disgrace to their cloth, and they have brought the rest into disrepute. But who are we that we should judge human beings from a policeman´s point of view? Will the opinion of those who are narrow-minded and can only think in kindergarten language or worn-out symbols help us in our study of the deep, dark science of man?
