Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of John William Colenso, D.D, Vol. 1 of 2: Bishop of Natal
You need éoldness to risk all for God - to stand by the Truth and its supporters against men's threatenings and the devil's wrath. You need a patient meekmss to bear the galling calumnies and false surmises with which, if you are faithful, that same Satanic working, which, if it could, would burn your body, will assuredly assail you daily through the pens and tongues of deceivers and deceived, who, under a semblance of a zeal for Christ, will evermore distort your words, misrepresent your motives, rejoice in your failings, exaggerate your errors, and seek by every poisoned breath of slander to destroy your powers of service. Sermon preached AT the consecration OF bishop colenso, St. Andrew's Day, 18 5 3, éy samuel wilberforce, Bz'sizop of Oxford.
