THE LATE DEAN STANLEY.
The London correspondent of the Melbourne “ Argus," writing of .Dean Stanley, thus refers to Ins sermon <>n “ Dickens " :—“ The same sympathetic feeling ran through the Dean’s funeral sermon on Dickens, in which, after quoting from the deceased novelist’s will, his profession of religions belief, the preacher went on to say : —‘ In that simple but sufficient faith, he lived and died. In that simple and sufficient faith he bids you live and die. If any of you have learnt from bis works the value, the eternal value, of generosity, of purity, of kindness, of unselfishness, and have learnt to show these in your own hearts and lives, then remember that these are the best monuments, memorials, and testimonials of the friend whom j-ou havo loved, and who loved with a marvellous and exceeding love his children, his country, and his fellow men. Theso are monuments which he would not refuse, and which the humblest, and poorest, and youngest hero have in their power to raise to his memory.’ ”
