But, if this fact is new to you, let me instantly dispel any apprehension it may excite, by assuring you that the members of this Society...
Sivu 25 - I am persuaded that, with the most intelligent and the sincerust members of the Church of England, it would be unnecessary for me to add another word. There are, however, persons who will think that I have not yet touched on the vital point of the whole controversy : on the danger lest any of the endowments, provided for the most part by the munificence of our Roman Catholic ancestors, of the dark ages, and now exclusively enjoyed by members of the Church of England, should ever be shared by Dissenters,...
Sivu 23 - As a remedy for the existing state of things he suggested a weekly service, 'which should remind the young men of that to which they have, most of them, been accustomed at home.' Such a service as this, he thought, ' would afford the best opportunity of affording instruction of a really religious kind, which should apply itself to their situation and prospects, and address itself to their feelings.
Sivu 23 - Such a service as this, he thought, ' would afford the best opportunity of affording instruction of a really religious kind, which should apply itself to their situation and prospects, and address itself to their feelings.' Next he took the college lectures in divinity, and proceeded to show, that, for the most part, they had no claim to be called theological. This part of his pamphlet excited even greater dissatisfaction than the other; and it must be admitted that it was by far the weakest part...
Sivu 27 - I am not one of those, if there are any such, who only consider this measure as one of policy, or of liberality, or of justice, but care little about its operation. I heartily wish, that, if carried, it may have the effect of attracting many Dissenters to receive an University education. I wish it not for their sakes only, but for our own. I think the substantial interests of the University, literature and science, morality and religion, would all gain by such an accession to our numbers.
Sivu 37 - My reason for thinking that our daily services might be omitted altogether, without any material detriment to religion, is simply that, as far as my means of observation extend, with an immense majority of our congregation it is not a religious service at all, and that to the few remaining it is the least impressive and edifying that can well be conceived.
Sivu 10 - English clergyman is perhaps destitute of academical education altogether ; but if he enjoys this advantage, " one fortnight" (to use the words of Professor Pusey), comprises the beginning and end of all the public instruction which any candidate for holy orders is required to attend, previously to entering upon his profession.
Sivu 21 - ... duty of the tutors had been grossly and shamefully neglected, the University itself undertook the Reform of its own institutions, or rather reduced again to practice what was before the letter and the spirit of those institutions. Accordingly, thirty-four years ago, a new statute of the University not only made it imperative on the tutors to instruct their pupils in the Thirty-nine Articles, but also made a knowledge of the meaning, and the proofs, of those Articles to be an essential and preliminary...
Sivu 10 - Cambridge are not theological seminaries ; that they are so far from being dedicated exclusively or principally to the study of theology...
Sivu 19 - I am very sensible of the advantage of early rising : but I should think this end might be attained by a much less circuitous process : and I suppose that it will hardly be reckoned among the uses of our evening service, that it sometimes proves a seasonable interruption to intemperate...
