The Learned Men PDF Download

Excerpt from The Learned Men Dr. F. William Faber: It lives on the ear like a mus1c. That can never be forgotten, like the sound of church bells, which the convert hardly knows how he can forego. Its \felicities often seem to be almost things rather than mere words. It is part of the national mind and the anchor of national seriousness. The memory of the dead passes into it. The potent traditions of childhood are stereotyped in its verses. The power of all the griefs and trials of a man is hidden beneath its words. It is the representative of his best moments; and all that there has been about him of soft, and gentle, and pure, and penitent, and good speaks to him for ever out of his English Bible.
