"Hear ye the Rod, and who hath appointed it", by James Galloway Cowan 64742 [Subtitle: A Sermon for the Fast Day, October 7, 1857] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/7/4/64742 ] [Files: 64742-0.txt; 64742-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Another topical sermon from Rev. Cowan (1828-1875). Just like every other Church of England clergyman, he had to give a sermon on the national Fast Day on 7 Oct. 1857, which was called by the government because of the Indian Mutiny. Cowan says the mutiny is judgement from God on Britain, not because we stole another's country, not because we failed to help India, but because we failed to try and convert the Indians to Christianity. At the end he says charity is required: but it's charity to the English in India. It was the common sentiment at the time but it's hard to read it now. All the best, David, Darkest England
