Memoir of George Howard Wilkinson, Vol. 1 of 2 by Arthur James Mason PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from Memoir of George Howard Wilkinson, Vol. 1 of 2: Bishop of St. Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane and Primus of the Scottish Church, Formerly Bishop of Truro IN executing the task confided to me by the family of Bishop Wilkinson, it has been my wish and my endeavour, not so much to set forth the events of his life in succession and in detail, as to give a true picture of the man, that posterity may have some notion of what his contemporaries saw in him, and why. Whether I have succeeded in this endeavour or not, I cannot tell. If I have, the success is due to the prayers which have been offered for my work during its progress. It is not easy for ordinary men to depict the Saints in their exaltation and their abasement, or in their daily walk with God. I have attempted to enable the reader to form his own opinion of the subject of the memoir by setting before him his own words in letters and in speeches. I have also given many reminiscences and appreciations from the hands of people who knew him at different periods of his life. This appeared to me likely to bring out the historic reality more truthfully than summaries or descriptions of mine would do it, and with greater variety and freshness. I have departed largely from chronological sequence in certain parts of the book, in order to display more clearly particular portions of his life - for instance, his relations with Archbishop Benson and with the Community of the Epi phany, and at a later time his work for South Africa and for the cause of Unity in Scotland.
