Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Question Which Has Arisen Between the Bishop and the Church Missionary Society in the Diocese of Colombo: Being a Paper Read Originally Before the Oxford Missionary Association of Graduates, on Friday, October 20th, 1876, and Since Completed IN case this paper should pass beyond the circle of those for whom it was originally drawn up, it is perhaps right that I should add a few words in explanation of myself and of my writing. The explanation is simply this; that I happen to have exceptional means of doing what I believe is urgently required to be done. I was one of those who, with the Bishop of Colombo, in the early dawn of the last Epiphany morning, - dropped from the docks out into the Thames, for the voyage to Ceylon. I landed with him in Colombo early in February; and from February till the last day of June (though not always, nor even generally, in the Bishop's company) I remained conti nuously in the Diocese. And again in the middle of August, when the events of July were all finished, but still fresh in memory and conversation, I landed in the island, and stayed in Colombo for a further week? These facts must be my justification for writing at all. One other word of preface may be seemly. I trust it will not be thought that I mean to speak of those Clergy, with whose names I have had to deal, with the smallest bitterness or exultation; may I venture rather to express to them (if it be not too great a liberty) my respect for them; and to commend my account to their friendliness; and hereby to beg them all both Mr. Jones (with whom I greatly rejoice to feel that I may claim acquaintance), and his colleagues, whom I have met, or whom I have not met, - to pardon the bluntness of my apprehension, if there be anything in this paper which may seem to their judgment to be untruly or unkindly said?
