Since that time his published writings have been numerous, most of them being on theological or relig- ious subjects. His great fame, however, rests on his position as the leading represen- tative of that branch of the church which has come to be known as the ''broad church" party and he preferred to devote his life and influence solely to the promulgat1on of liberal ideas in religion rather than to aspire to preferment in the church. For th1s req son he declined an appointment as blshop, feeling that his ministerial duties as dean ot Westminster offered him better field for the work on which he had set his heart How wise his decision was IS attested by the fact that he attained repu- tation and influence that made him the most prominent of all his contemporaries among the expounders of liberal views of religious life and belief For his eloquence as sermonizer and private character he won universal respect and admiration. His pub lished writings, in the order of their publi- cation, following the Life of Dr. Arnold, were as follows: ''Stories and Essays on, the Apostolical Age" Memoir of Bishop Stanley, ' The Epistles to the Corinthians, ' Historical Memorials of Canterbury s.Sinai and Palestine in Connection with their History" 'sSermons on the Unity of Evangelical and Apostolical Teaching" sermons on various subjects preached before the University of Ok ford; Lectures on the History of the Eastern Church.; Sermons preached in the East with an appendix on his second visit to Palestine with H.
