Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speech Delivered by the Lord Bishop of Lincoln at a Meeting Held in the Corn Exchange, Lincoln, on Monday, Feb. 28, 1870
The Bishop of lincoln said he felt it a special privilege in being allowed to be present and to preside at such a gathering, for such an Object as that which called them together. He felt it to be a privilege and a honour for various reasons. The cause which brought them together was one connected with the social and spiritual welfare of all classes in.the land, and he felt it to be a special duty of those who were called by God's providence to occupy places in the Church of England, not to be slack in lending such in?uence as they possessed towards furthering such a design. (hear, hear.) It had been sometimes said that the Church of England was behind in these great moral and social movements, and he therefore thought it was very becoming on all ministers of the Church to do what in them lay to disabuse the public mind of such a prejudice. (hear, hear.) For himself he might say that he attended here in order to pay a debt, and he would explain what he meant by that.
