A Sermon preached at Christ Church, Kensington, on May 1, 1859,by Wright 64717 [Author: William Wright] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/7/1/64717 ] [Files: 64717-0.txt; 64717-h.htm] For those wishing to know: May 1, 1859 was appointed as a day of thanksgiving to God in Great Britain as a result of the suppression of the Indian rebellion. Many churches had special sermons and this is one preached in Kensington, near London. The area was home to many retired military and ex-government people so perhaps the tone was guessable, but Rev. Wright felt the whole of the Indian problems were caused by the UK not trying to eliminate Islam and Hinduism - it's a very unconfortable read but shows middle class views in the area at the time. All the best, David, Cold and damp England
