The After-glow of a Great Reign: Four Addresses Delivered in St. Paul's Cathedral
Winnington Ingram, Arthur F. (Arthur Foley)
Church of England -- Sermons; Victoria, Queen of Great Britain, 1819-1901
And lastly, we have to-day before us the untaught child. After all is
said and done, these schemes for dealing with Hooligans would be
unnecessary if we really had from the very beginning an efficient
scheme for teaching the young Christian principles. You are asked
today to give your alms to the National Society. It is a grand thing
for us of the Church of England to think that we have given for the
education of the people for the last eighty years more than 10,000
pounds a week. And yet the work is failing. In God's name, because we
are interested in a new scheme, let us not forsake or starve the old.
And a liberal contribution to the National Society is a true response
to the law of kindness.
Let us take home, then, these four great lessons from the character of
our late Queen--Truth in the inward parts, Moral courage throughout
life, The rainbow of purity round the throne of the heart, and In the
tongue the law of kindness. May God send them home to us and
incorporate them into the national character, and then we shall have
with us for years to come the after-glow of a great reign.
