Excerpt from Words of Counsel on Some of the Chief Difficulties of the Day: Bequeathed to the Church in the Writings of Samuel Wilberforce, Late Lord Bishop of Winchester It is put forward in the hope that the words of one so loved and honoured, who has passed from amongst us, may help to calm the waters now so troubled and hinder some of the divisions which now threaten us. Of the vast regions of thought traversed by that master mind, far the largest tracts are here unnoted. Nor are any of those subjects admitted, of temporary or merely local interest, with which necessarily the Bishop had to deal in his charges and ad dresses. No trace, therefore, appears here of that marvellous organization, due to him, by the aid of which he ruled this diocese for nearly a quarter of a century; nor of that, in another and still larger diocese.
