Excerpt from A Series of Sermons: Preached in the Borough of Chatham The reason for publishing these Sermons is soon told. The Borough of Chatham contains a population of over 65, 000, in this total are included 7, 000 dockyard men, 5, 200 bluejackets and marines, and 4, 000 soldiers, and at times these numbers are greatly exceeded. This vast body of men, largely young men, forms in itself an appeal to the Church to put forth her best efforts to attach them to God and His Church. It was this thought, I think, which induced the Bishop of Rochester to place himself at the head of a movement, the object of which was to arrange for a Series of Six Sermons to be preached annually at Chatham to Men only. May I express at once, what all those who were associated with me feel, viz., that whatever amount of success was attained by this effort, was almost entirely due to the aid and cordial sympathy extended to us by the Bishop of Rochester. The Archbishop of Canterbury preached the first Sermon in the Parish Church on Sunday, January 15th. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
