Book Description

Excerpt from Eminent Christian Workers of the Nineteenth Century The distinguished servant of God whose name heads this memorial sketch did much towards making the Church of England the Church of the people; but he had that enviable faculty besides of attracting the sympathies of those not in her communion. He was one of those typical heroes of duty of whom England is justly proud - men whose devotion to humanity has been conspicuous, whether their lot has been cast in humble or in exalted spheres. Compassionate and just in life, and statesmanlike in action, he was well entitled to the designation of a great archbishop. He may, indeed, be said to have almost realized the national ideal of what an Archbishop of Canterbury ought to be.
