Charles Simeon, by Handley Carr Glyn Moule (1841 - 1920)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/charles-simeon-by-handley-carr-glyn-moule/
Charles Simeon had come up to King’s college from Eton, a wild undergraduate, famous for his love of horses and extravagance in dress; but one day he discovered that the rules of the college compelled him to receive the Communion on the following Sunday. He had lived in an utterly careless home, but he knew enough of religion to realise that attendance at the Lord’s Table was a serious thing, which should not be undertaken without some preparation. Not quite knowing what to do, he went to a bookseller’s shop, and bought a copy of Bishop Wilson on the Lord’s Supper, and learned from it for the first time the meaning of the Atonement. This was the turning point in his life. Henceforth all his energy was concentrated in a single channel. His one ambition was to make all Cambridge grasp this doctrine too.<br><br>
He became Fellow of his college, and then took Holy Orders, and was appointed (1783) Minister of Trinity Church, in the Market Place. Here he learnt what it meant to be known as an Evangelical. The seat-holders deserted the church in a body, and locked the great doors of the pews, so that no one else should use them. When Simeon placed forms in the aisles, the churchwardens threw them out into the churchyard, and for more than ten years his congregation had to stand. Rowdy bands of under graduates used to try to break up the service. “For many years,” wrote one of his contemporaries, “Trinity Church and the streets leading to it were the scenes of the most disgraceful tumults. In vain did Simeon exert himself to preserve order. In vain did Parish, who was popular with the under graduates, station himself outside the door to prevent improper conduct; though one undergraduate, who had been apprehended by Simeon, was compelled to read a public apology, the disturbances still continued.” “Those who worshipped at Trinity,” wrote another, “were supposed to have left common sense, discretion, sobriety, attachment to the Established Church, love of the liturgy, and whatever else is true and of good report, in the vestibule.”<br><br>
But Simeon went on with his work with quiet pertinacity, never deliberately doing anything to provoke opposition, but never flinching from declaring what he knew to be the truth, and won first toleration, and then recognition as the most inspiring teacher in Cambridge. Trinity Church was always crowded with undergraduates. His Friday Conversation Circle for the discussion of religious questions, his Bible Class and Doctrine Class never failed to fill his room at King’s with eager young disciples, and especially his famous Sermon Class, in which most of the Evangelical preachers of the next generation were trained. And this continued for fifty years with results which no man can estimate. A teacher so wise, so genial, so spiritual, moulding the lives of the men from whom the bulk of the clergy were drawn, acquired a position almost unique in the English Church. “If you knew what his authority and influence were,” wrote Lord Macaulay, who was himself at Cambridge in Simeon’s later days, “and how they extended from Cambridge to the most remote corners of England, you would allow that his real sway in the Church was far greater than that of any Primate.” Down to comparatively modern times in undergraduate slang an earnest Christian was always called a “Sim”.

I did a keyword search and picked the first entry which was obviously not correct. :)

Good job reading.

Chapter 2 is PL OK as are chapters 4 and 5.


Chapter 6 just requires some deletion:

Please delete the text from about 16:46to 16:56. It reads "at the revocation of the edict (1685) the great temple at Charenton, the Huguenot Canterbury, here he proved himself Bossuet's worthy controversial rival"; it is repeated correctly starting around 16:56 as "at the revocation of the edict (1685) the great temple at Charenton was at once pulled down..." .

Thanks,

Chapter 6 is PL OK.

Chapter 7 has just one small correction. At 10:44 I hear "his opponents and satirists were also his" should be "their opponents..."

I regret to inform you that Chapter 8 is going to take a bit more work.

22:17 text is missing after "Duchesse de Broglie" (line 6, p 124 of book (153 of document)) - up to "The Earl of Hardwick" (end of line 16, p 127, of book (156 of document)).

Let me know if I am not clear enough.

Thanks,

M
