          <ptr target="ukred-23473">Bishop Westcott to Hallam Tennyson:

"When ""In Memoriam"" appeared, I felt (as I feel if possible more strongly now) that the hope of man lies in the historic realization of the Gospel. I rejoiced in the Introduction, which appeared to me to be the mature summing up after an interval of the many strains of thought in the ""Elegies."" Now the stress of controversy is over, I think so still. As I look at my original copy of ""In Memoriam,"" I recognise that what impressed me most was your father"s splendid faith (in the face of the frankest acknowledgement of every difficulty) in the growing purpose of the sum of life, and in the noble destiny of the individual man as he offers himself for the fulfilment of his little part (LIV., LXXXI., LXXXII. and the closing stanzas). This faith has now largely entered into our common life, and it seems to me to express a lesson of the Gospel which the circumstances of all time encourage us to master."</ptr>
