Excerpt from The Anglican Career of Cardinal Newman, Vol. 2 The Tracts, says Dean Church, were not the most powerful instruments in drawing sympathy to the Movement. None but those who remember them can adequately estimate the effect of Mr. Newman's four O'clock sermons at St. Mary's. The world knows them, has heard a good deal about them, has passed its various judgments on them. But it hardly realizes that, without those sermons, the Movement might never have gone on; certainly would not have been what it was. While men were reading and talking about the Tracts, they were hearing and reading the sermons, and in the sermons they heard the living meaning and reason and bearing of the Tracts, their ethical affinities, their moral standard.
