THREE FISHERS"
The Incident which Moved Kingsley

day OF horror I'm particular lived I'm his
memory. n day. as he described II.
when the old bay lay darsened with
the gray columns OF the waterspouts.
stalking across the waves before the
northern gale; and the tiny herring
boats neeing from their nets right for
The breakers. hoping more mercy even
from those iron walls of rock than
from the pitiless bowling waste OF
spray behind them. and that merry
beach beside the town covered with
shrieking women and old men. casting
themselves on the pebbles in fruitless
agonies OF prayer as corpse after
corpse swept up nj the feet OF wife and
child, till I'm one case alone a single
dawn saw upward OF sixty widows and
orphans weeping over those who had
gone out the night before In the full
ness OF strength and courage" These
scenes lived ever I'm his mind.
But the Three Fishers was written
as result OF one OF the strangest Incl
dents In the stormy career OF the
preacher-author. In 1851 he preached
a sermon I'm a London church OH The
Message OF the Church To the Laboring
Man" At It's close the vicar rose and
denounced him. Bishop Bloomfield for
babe Kingsley to preach again ia his
diocese until. having read the sermon
and seen its author. he withdrew the
edict. The same night upon which he
delivered his discourse Kingsley went
TO his home weary. There had nearly
been riot in the church Sick ut
heart. he retired TO his study. When
he reappeared he handed TO his family
his immortal song. "as though il were
the outcome Of It all" AZ his wife said
