Excerpt from The Country Clergyman and His Work: Six Lectures on Pastoral Theology Delivered in the Divinity School, Cambridge, May Term, 1889 I have been asked to speak to you on the subject of Pastoral Work in the Country, in other words, on the Country Clergyman, and his Work. It has been thought, and not without reason, that the towns have had their full share of attention throughout these Lectures on Pastoral Theology. For most assuredly the town clergyman of the present day, young or old, has no lack of external helps in the way of "Pastoralia." These have been given in full measure from the lips, and hearts, and lives, of my predecessors. It may not even now be a fulness unto satiety, but there need be no complaint of starvation. I am here then to contribute what I may towards making the scale even. Not indeed that there is any antagonism between the two great ministerial provinces.
