Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Corruption of the Church: An Oration Delivered at the Prince´s Hall on May 25th and July 4th, 1891 I am frequently asked if I do not intend to answer the criticism which this lecture has called forth. Well, in point of fact there are no criticisms to answer. A number of adjectives, chiefly of a vituperative nature, have been flung at my devoted head. My voice, my delivery, my clothes, my gown, my sandwich-men, have all been discussed and condemned. Even the innocent plants on the platform have come in for their share of abuse. Poor things, they little knew when they were taken to Princes Hall how the "critics" would attack them! But as for what I said, I have not seen the faintest attempt to show that I was wrong. Mr. Haweis did me the honour to preach two sermons against the lecture, but inasmuch as he admitted that all I had said was true, I shall not trouble myself now with the rest of his remarks. I confess, however, that I was a little surprised at being upbraided by Mr. Haweis for heresy and levity. I could not help exclaiming "Et tu, Brute!" The most astounding observation which the "critics" offered was to the effect that, though what I said was true enough, I was merely flogging a dead horse, for no one any longer believed in the doctrines which I attacked. I call this astounding, because I had shown, by quotations from the Articles and Creeds, that the doctrines in question were still the authorised doctrines of the Church of England. And so far are they from having dropped into abeyance, that I have since been expelled from my chair at King´s College simply and solely for having denied them. It was stated in several of the newspapers that I had been guilty of "breaches of discipline." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
