England's Stewardship, by Edward Hoare 52748 [Subtitle: The Substance of a Sermon] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/2/7/4/52748 ] [Files: 52748-0.txt; 52748-h.htm] For those wishing to know: In 1857 soldiers of the Bengal army shot their British officers and an uprising took place. British public opinion was so shocked that a national day of fasting in England was proclaimed and the Rev. Edward Hoare preached this sermon on that day. Hoare says that England's conduct towards India has been very wrong and cites that England hasn't provided Education nor pushed Christianity. More than anything it shows the total disconnect between what people in England thought was happening in India, and what was. All the best, David England with a cool breeze
