Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chapters From My Life: With Special Reference to Reunion With regard to this libel and many other matters before and during the war, it has been my fate (if I may adapt Kipling´s words), after years of work for peace between the Nations and between the Churches, "... To hear the truth I´d spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools; To watch the things I´d given my life to, broken, And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools." I have learned, I hope, not only to "Trust myself when all men doubted," but - which is harder - to "Make allowance for their doubting too." Although I obtained a verdict with costs, the defence was greatly strengthened by the use of certain ex parte statements inserted by the officials at the end of the volume, after a judicial and balanced report which had already been signed by Lord Wolverhampton (Sir Henry H. Fowler) and his colleagues on the Commission of Inquiry. I have striven to say nothing which would wound my old colleagues and friends, or which could rekindle the embers of a controversy which may have done some harm, though I hope not without compensation. I trust that this chapter will not unduly distract the reader from the main purpose of the volume. I hope that the record of my own experience in promoting Christian unity, and the conclusions at which I have arrived, may be of some value in the great movement of the Churches towards each other which is now taking place.
