Book excerpt: Excerpt from Authorized Report of the Papers, Prepared Addresses, and Discussions: The Church Congress The Editor of the Authorized Report begs to tender his thanks to the various writers and speakers for the attention they have given to his requests concerning proofs, and thus enabled him to secure an earlier publication after the Wolverhampton Congress, for the Report, than in previous years. The Editor cannot forbear mentioning one special instance of the aid thus rendered him by the late President. A proof of his last address was sent to Bishop Lonsdale on the day of his decease, when, following out what is said to have been his usual practice, of not postponing a reply to any letter that could be answered at once, on his return home late in the evening, after presiding at a long and important meeting at Stafford on behalf of Middle Class Education, he attended to it before partaking of dinner, in the very hour of his death. The letter and the news that the good Bishop had been called to his rest reached the Editor by the same post. "We bless Thy Holy Name, O Lord, for all Thy servants departed this life in Thy faith and fear; beseeching Thee to give us grace so to follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers of Thy heavenly kingdom. Grant this, O Father, for Jesus Christ's sake, our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen." A special feature in the present volume is an account of the speeches at the "Working Men's Meeting," on Thursday evening, included for the first time iii the Official Report.
