Synopsis
Sermons for the Times is a collection of sermons written by Charles Kingsley, a prominent 19th century English clergyman and novelist. The book contains a series of powerful and thought-provoking sermons that Kingsley delivered during his time as a priest in the Church of England. These sermons cover a wide range of topics, including social justice, environmentalism, and the relationship between science and faith. Kingsley's writing is characterized by his passionate and deeply personal style, and his sermons are often marked by vivid imagery and memorable turns of phrase. This book is an important historical document that offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious and political debates of the Victorian era, and it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of faith and social justice.But I have not only to tell young persons of the Confirmation: I have to tell all godfathers and godmothers of it also.

You must help me, and help the children's parents, in bringing your godchildren to confirmation. It really is your duty. It will be better for you if you fulfil it. Better for you, not merely by preventing a punishment, but by bringing a blessing. Let me try to show you what I mean.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
