Excerpt from The Shepherd of the Sea: And Other Sermons The style is the man, nothing more nor less, and characteristic of'his fecundity of thought and cultured appreciation of the capital intimations of other leading intellects of the age. Dr. Watkinson is emphatically modern, but also balanced in his modernity: keenly aware that wisdom was not born with our generation, and that it will survive us. Sentences which leave music in the ear, and emotion in the memory, abound in The Shepherd of the Sea. They are an effectual protest against the colloquial manner of speech which has been popularized by too many speakers and writers upon religious questions.
