Excerpt from Sermons on the Sabbath-Day: On the Character of the Warrior and on the Interpretation of History

The more serious excitement produced by the funeral of the Duke of Wellington should not, I think, be suffered to evaporate in a vague feeling about the vanity or fragility of human greatness. I have endeavoured to show, in the sermon preached the Sunday after that event, that the greatness we deplore was not vain but substantial, and that the national unity which for that one day was realized, ought not to be fragile, since all morality and faith will perish when it perishes.

Excerpt from Sermons on the Sabbath-Day: On the Character of the Warrior and on the Interpretation of History

A Clergyman, I conceive, has no right to avail himself of any temporary excitement, except for the purpose of enforcing or elucidating some permanent principles; he has no right to pass by any which he believe may minister to that end. To preach upon the 'Crystal Palace question' for the sake of adding one voice more to those who defend or who attack the measure which the directors of the Company have proposed, would have seemed to me a grievous abuse of my office and of the Sabbath-day.
