Notes of a sermon preached by the Rev. C. E. Darwent in Union Church, on April 2
Fent: "Hath any of the rulers St. John VIL. 48. believed in him, or the Pharisees?"
Great Britain suffered a severe loss in Jaxiuary when Viscount Bryce died. It is appalling to think of the learning that is buried with a man like that. We felt that, when Mr. Gladstone died. The learning left in their books is us nobing with that buried with such men. It has been said of- Lord Bryce, that "he had been everywhere, known everybody, and read everything." A man like that must be worth half an hour's consideration, so I propose to describe him first, and then give the reason why I speak about him at all. First, then, let us consider the man. H* was born in Belfast in 1838. His father migrated to Glasgow, to become master of the High School there. Lord Bryce always considered himself Scottish, And we roust certainly say, that he was one of the most successful Scots of the last century, which is saying a good deal.
