Excerpt from A Lent in London: A Course of Sermons on Social Subjects, Organized by the London Branch of the Christian Social Union, and Preached in the Churches of St. Edmund, Lombard Street, and St. Mary-Le-Strand During Lent, 1895

The following Sermons have been selected from two courses preached during Lent, 1895, on weekdays, mainly to business men, at the churches of St. Edmund, Lombard Street, and St. Mary-le-Strand.

The London Branch of the Christian Social Union is responsible for inviting the several preachers. But each preacher is entirely responsible for his own utterance, and for nothing more. It will be obvious that they differ widely in aim and judgment. It would be meaningless if they did not, in face of the intricacy and the complication of the vast social problem which Christianity is called upon to handle. Many types, many minds, many experiences, must draw together, through much correction and discipline, before the Church can adequately grapple with her task. The Christian Social Union has thought it well, therefore, simply to invite such speakers as were qualified to win a hearing, and then to leave them perfectly free to express themselves. Our one aim is that such matters as these should be pressed upon the anxious attention of the laity in Lent.
