Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suffering and Hope: A Sermon Preached in St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, on the Occasion of the Unveiling of the Window Placed in the Church by Members of the House of Commons, in Memory of Lord Frederick C. Cavendish, M. P. On Sunday, July 22, 1883 I honour (it is impossible surely to do otherwise) the zeal and self denial of those who abstain because they think they can thus help their weak brethren, though I am not always convinced by their arguments. Let us remember St. Paul's words. Let not those who think themselves strong despise the weak; let not those who abstain judge those who do not abstain. He taught men to honour convictions which they could not always share. But, in conclusion, let us all remember that this question of temperance in drink is only part of a great question. There are other deadly sins - there are other sins of the body. Temperance in the use of anything lawful should be one of the Christian's laws. Abstinence from all evil should be another. The Christian should in word and in deed always be found on God's side. He should always abhor that which is evil, and cleave to that which is good. He should always think of others and study their spiritual welfare, and take heed lest he put a stumbling block in the way of any.
