Excerpt from A Life Given for Ireland: A Sermon Preached at the Dedication of a Memorial Window Erected by Men Employed in the Iron and Steel Works to the Late Lord Frederick Cavendish in St. James's Church, Barrow-in-Furness, on St. Andrew's Day, 1882
Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. St. Luke x. 37.
What a record of joys and sorrows is the history of human life on earth! As night follows day, as sunshine breaks forth to dispel the clouds, so is the heart of man wont to feel the successive changes of the happiness and the anxieties of life. Nay, even the very heart which has been made bright with joys knows at the selfsame moment its own bitterness. And how much deeper and more piercing are the great sorrows of life than its great joys. While one is rejoicing, another is weeping. This very day we are met together to try and glorify God for events wholly differing in their character. The three windows, unveiled this morning.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an account of the funeral and memorial services of Lord Frederick Cavendish, who was murdered in Phoenix Park, Dublin, in 1882. The text is taken from a sermon preached at St. Giles Church, Oxford, on the sixteenth Sunday after Trinity, September 24, 1882, by the Rev. R. St. John Tyrwhitt. The author discusses the life and death of Lord Frederick Cavendish, and the impact of his death on the political and social landscape of Ireland. He argues that Cavendish's death was a turning point in the history of Ireland, and that it helped to bring about a new era of peace and prosperity. The author also explores the themes of Christian faith, duty, and sacrifice, and argues that Cavendish's life and death can serve as an inspiration to us all. This is a valuable addition to the historiography of 19th-century Ireland, and it provides a fascinating insight into the life and death of one of the most important figures of the period.
