Excerpt from Words of Good Cheer Is this a message the preacher dare speak to the people of London? "London!" What strangely diverse ideas does the very word call up in different minds! Now it is a round of restless pleasure-seeking, a season full of all that is gay and glittering, an arena for the little plots and intrigues, the petty plannings and schemings, which bring so often far more vanity and vexation of spirit than satisfaction or happiness. Now the word raises only the vision of a daily round of changeless labour, weary hours at the desk or in the chambers, a life of clock-work habits and monotonous thought. Now again it is the symbol of the great fierce struggle for gold, it speaks of the crowd of eager anxious keen-eyed worshippers of the great golden image, all jostling and thrusting one another that they may get nearer and nearer.
