Publisher's Synopsis
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.
