The Curate Of Cumberworth And The Vicar Of Roost

Excerpt from The Curate of Cumberworth, And, the Vicar of Roost: Tales In the main, the connexion of Incumbent and Curate is one of mutual respect and good will but some cases, the one class holds aloof from the other, and thus opportuni ties of doing good are lost, and the enemy acts successfully upon the vile old principle of Di vide, et impera. It is in the h0pe of drawing attention to the evils thence ensuing that th ese tales have been written. The work, indeed, may be ill done, or in a manner, the wisdom of which may be questioned; if ao, may another do it better but still it is to be hoped that any earnest effort to point out an evil which may be injurious to the Church's interests, and the welfare of souls, will he met with kind and patient consideration, as being evidence at least of the writet's hearty desire to contribute to the well bein g and well-doing of the brethren, and to the peace and stability of the Church in England.
