My dear Lord-In answer to your
letter, write to say, that, in my opin-
ion, the Church OF England owes a.
great debt Of gratitude to the author
of the Christian Year. That beauti-
full book has done so much for the
cause of true spiritual religion amongst
us, that probably only three or four
works in the whole history of the
Church could be compared with il. s..
A mere monument to Keble would
be a waste of money and pains; his
book is his monument But college

debarred University education NAV
well be erected in his memory, for It
would have had his support and his
prayers if he had remained amongst.
us. Such a college might be made
useful to the sons Of clergymen, of
whom there are many who desire to
serve God in the ministry, but who
have no hope of passing through
University because of their poverty.
From this class the alleged deficiency
of candidates for holy orders might be
most fifty supplied / therefore wish
we'll TO your undertaking. 81
