Excerpt from In Watchings Often: Addresses to Nurses and Others
Preface to these addresses. I should naturally have declined to do so, as such words cannot be needed from anyone, much less from me. Canon Holmes's own spiritual experience, and his life as Chaplain to the late great Bishop Of Oxford (dr. Stubbs), to his excellent predecessor, Bishop Mack arness, and to the good Bishop Of Cape Town, are amply sufficient guarantee for the usefulness and authority of his words. I have, nevertheless, written these few words Of Preface in proof Of my gratitude for the example Of the lives Of the members of the Guild Of St. Barnabas, and for their prayers, in which I have been permitted to have a share.
The Guild of St. Barnabas was founded in 1876, almost thirty years ago. It has now nearly members. It is indeed a remarkable and great work.
