A Voice from the Fire, by Robert Wallace 64731 [Subtitle: A Sermon occasioned by the public burning of the Bible at Kingstown, by the Redemptorist Fathers, on the 5th of November, 1855] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/7/3/64731 ] [Files: 64731-0.txt; 64731-h.htm] For those wishing to know: I'd stumbled on a reference to the "recent Bible burnings" whilst transcribing a Kensington book, so had a look for anything contemporary to give a bit more background. This is a short sermon preached in Dublin where two religious groups were in conflict, one was so provoked as to burn a Bible, only a page of which was rescued from the fire (hence the title). It's mainly the Protestant group saying how terrible the Catholic group were, but it contains a first hand account of it. All the best, David, Overcast but bright England
